Would you make a good eyewitness? Here's your chance to find out - with some experiments that could change your mind.

Politicians smiled.
Construction companies made millions. And grateful tenants moved into a home at last.
With pre-cast slabs and easy on-site assembly, Britain's housing shortage had a solution: system building. Today, less than 20 years later, many of those tenants are screaming to get out, and many of those buildings are coming down: unsafe, unfit, unsound.
It is a tale of bad design, inept supervision, appalling workmanship, and a whole lot of people who didn't know (or care) what was going on. David Jones investigates a disaster whose scale is only just becoming apparent.
And for which we will be paying - in cash and social consequences - well into the next century.

1934 saw the release of a remarkable work by Robert Flaherty , often called the 'father of the documentary film'. It was Man of Aran a dramatic portrait of life on the islands off the West coast of Ireland.
Forty-four years later, documentary film-maker
George Stoney revisited the original locations. Through conversations with the islanders, he examines Flaherty's film.
Was it, as some have said, a 'mockumentary' or was
Flaherty the first 'film poet'? Produced by GEORGE C. STONEY ASSOCIATES
