Six films about people determined to save historic buildings. Millstones
The Calder Valley in West Yorkshire is scattered with 19th-century textile mills -vast, magnificent, and mostly redundant.
'People take trips to Egypt to see the pyramids, to Greece to see temples, physical remains of great cultural leaps forward in the history of mankind. The greatest leap that's ever been taken by mankind was the Industrial Revolution.
Where did it begin? It began here in the north of England. The pyramids were once quarried for their stone, the temples in Greece were demolished. The mills of the Pennines are suffering a similar fate today. We hope to stop it.'

A documentary trilogy that examines a central sexual dilemma from the viewpoint of the mistress, the wife and the husband.
'When the honeymoon was over, I really began to think to myself, "Hello, I'm not sure about this".'
'I always thought of marriage as two people locking themselves up in a cage.'
'I would call it the "Infernal Triangle", because it causes such hell for everybody.'
Three wives talk honestly about husbands, lovers and mistresses. The first still feels the pain of abandonment by her husband for his mistress.
The second has been happily married for 30 years. Both she and her husband have condoned each other's infidelities. The third walked away from her husband and three children for her lover. The second film in this trilogy illustrates, from the viewpoint of the wife, the agonising choices two people must make, if they are to abide by the promises they made to each other at the altar.

'I want tough incisive interviews. So does TopC.A.T.'
Behind every great TV news story there's a reporter; behind every reporter, there's a film crew and back at the production office there's a producer - worrying. It should all work like a well-oiled machine, but on Newstime it seldom does.
