Roses Grow in Byker Now
The neighbourly jostle of the close terraced streets of the New-castle community of Byker has gone. Today architects come from all over the world to admire what has taken its place - an inner city suburb of brightly coloured houses grouped in small tree-lined squares. Three years ago the camera recorded the bitter experiences of three women, Ethel, Nora and Jean, as they endured a long cold winter of delays and hardships, waiting for the council's scheme to be finished so that they could be rehoused. For two of the women that bleak period is behind them-they are content now. But for Jean the memories are taking longer to heal.

A series of programmes recalling the events and people of the last 80 years.
In the first of three programmes about his life, Lord Boothby (Bob Boothby) - broadcaster, author, former Member of Parliament, the Tory rebel whose life began in the easy, affluent days of the Edwardian era, talks to Andrew Boyle about his early days at Oxford and his sudden chance to go into politics.
An mp at the age of 24, he held his Scottish seat until 1958 when he became one of the first Life Peers. His first important political post was with Winston Churchill in 1926 - he recalls his aversion to the economic policies of the time and his affection for and disillusionment with the Germany of . the 20s and 30s.
