A series of eight films 6: Fear of Failing
' Some days It goes well and I think great" - other days it doesn't go so well and I think " what the ... am I doing here?
It's good days and bad days. When you have a good day it really is a good day. You don't need an aeroplane to fly when you've had a good day.' But for some there are too many bad days.

The last in the present series Baleia, Baleia
Whalers of the Azores
Narrated by Patrick Allen
'Baleia'- Portuguese for whale - is the cry that signals the start of the hunt for the most awesome creature of the ocean. In the classic tradition of Moby Dick the Azorean whalers still challenge the giant sperm whale using hand-thrown harpoons.
But massive factory ships have taken over and the communities whose livelihoods depend on whaling are now, like the whales themselves, threatened with extinction.

What will be left-what should be left-by the 90s?
John Biffen 's ideas are questioned by Michael Meacher , mp, Paul Johnson , Dorothy Wedderburn , Principal of Bedford College.

A series of seven programmes
Events in the life and work of Fred Dibnah, Bolton steeplejack 6: The Epic Journey Resumed
The Dibnah family's steam-roller and trailer trundle on through rural Cheshire. Fred complains of the landscape: 'One field looks much the same as another, and the trees, I know there are oaks and ashes and elms, but one elm tree looks much like another ...' He also complains of the sun: ' After a full day of it the whole lot's red hot, even the footplate you're standing on, and your feet are stuck to the bottom of your boots.'
The heavens oblige with a thunderstorm and the Dibnahs steam into the field where a rally is to be held the next day, their bedding sodden, their spirits dampened, their dog blackened by smoke. Narrator Deryck Guyler

... of documentary. A series of films portraying issues, institutions and individuals Skinheads
They are foul-mouthed, violent and racist. They alienate as a deliberate act. Their music is menacing; their clothes functional - designed only for brawling and booting.
John, 'Brownie', 'Chubby' and Eddie -the subjects of this documentary film-are no angels either. As they move through the skinhead pads, dives and discos of inner London, they reinforce many aspects of the skinhead identikit: defiance, racism and a menace that erupts into the violent wrecking of a nightclub. But there is also John's intense poetry of despair, harsh gut music that owes nothing to art, and, above all, vitality - soured and perverted though it is -because there is no work and no hope of work.

The last of the present series starring Wilfrid Hyde White as the venerable senior partner Emerson Marshall , with Out of Town Trip is a disillusioning experience for naive, trusting Leslie when she and the other associates are sent to Akron to defend a man accused of monkey-business with other people's money. She discovers that the client is dishonest and resigns on principle - something which by way of incidental definition, does not pay the rent.
