Breaking the Mould?
For the bulk of production line workers throughout
British industry tomorrow's work will be just like today's. Mindless.... repetitive.... demoralising. But deep in the 'pot bank' they're trying to reshape working lives.
Staffordshire Potteries, Britain's major mug producers, have adopted a new Japanese style of management. They are aiming to increase the motivation and job satisfaction of their employees by giving them more say in the company's decisions.
But will this really improve work and conditions on the shopfloor, or is it just subtle psychology designed to boost productivity?
Open Space goes to the Potteries to find out how shopfloor and management approach the new tomorrow. Producer JEREMY GIBSON

Apparently we don't wash, and we are morose and miserable even on holiday. On the other hand we are polite and kind to animals, and we would be great in a crisis - if we knew one when we saw one. Each week
Derek Jameson looks at the way foreign television reports this country. Tonight he looks at foreign interest in the Royal Family and discovers that, in some ways, they are even more obsessed with them than are the natives.
