The second in a weekly series of programmes made for young people by young people. Tonight's programme comes from Cardiff.
' Nine young people got together to make this show, which includes an interview with the Moonies, a short film made by the Rastas in Butetown - the oldest black community in the country - and a film about Cardiff's new music co-op.
' There are jokes, commercials and a guest appearance by the Cardiff Dirty Macs (about which the less said the better). The music comes from The Damned and Young Marble Giants.'

Harold Creme , Market Trader
Harold Creme launched himself on the public with a flood of words he never believed himself capable of. His father decided to give up his stall and Harold, a diffident youth with a stammer, had either to talk or quit. He talked, and he has pattered on for 30 years, drawing crowds who come to laugh and sometimes stay to buy. He is a gambler who plays for small stakes in a casino and for large ones in his daily work.

The Mondragon Experiment
Mondragon, in the Basque region of Spain, is a flourishing industrial town with over 80 factories ranging from iron foundries and shipyards to printing works and sawmills. They are the most efficient in Spain - and they are all cooperatively owned! Their 18,000 workers run the factories, appoint the managers, and decide how to distribute the profits. They also run their own bank, their own technical college, and their own research laboratories, working on robots, microprocessors and solar energy. And they have created all this with scant help from a suspicious government and no funds from stock-market investors.
In Britain, workers and management, capital and labour, have been at loggerheads since the Industrial Revolution-and there is no sign of things getting better. The experiment has been running for 25 years. Could we follow the same road to prosperity? Narrator ALEXANDER JOHN

The fourth of five films by directors making their drama television debut.
Some of My Best Friends by RUTH CARTER with Elizabeth Bell as Natalie
A farm in the Cotswolds is a far cry from the bagel-strewn Stepney of Natalie's childhood. It smells of manure, the cows frighten her and her neighbours find her rather ' foreign'. A visit from the ladies of her old Jewish girls' club is not going to help matters.
