2.15 British Social History 1945-1951
The Labour Government of 1945 promised to use the lessons of wartime organisation to fight poverty, bad housing and bad health. This film, largely constructed from propaganda films and cinema newsreels of the period, shows how these ideas were expressed, and how the mood of the country changed in the years that followed.

Presented by Professor Heinz Wolff Desert Island Bikes
In which the teams are invited to do a little fishing. Somewhere, it seems, in a little-known ocean not far from Birmingham, there is an island inhabited solely by bits of bicycles. No one is allowed to set foot on the island, so the task is to construct a device delicate enough to retrieve a wheel nut, but strong enough to capture a frame. The winner may then cycle away.
