Cooke potters happily around Edison's laboratory, Vanderbilt's Newport cottage,
Carnegie's Scottish castle.... it shines with certain virtues that have become increasingly rare in the social-Commentary dodge in recent years. Reasonableness, for example.

The final part of a television history of Britain at work in the 20th century. Hindsight
In earlier programmes men and women who worked across British industry, from textile mills to car plants, shipyards to television factories, told what has happened to them since the First World War.
Though there have been massive improvements in wages and conditions, one question dominates these stories: Why did Britain's productivity and comnetitiveness fall so far behind her neighbours in western Europe, as well as America and Japan? Was it the 19th-century inheritance, or 'them and us' labour relations, or the part played by government, that held Britain back?
In this final programme managers and workers look back on what went right, and what went wrong.
