Hundreds of women in the south have reprogrammed their domestic lives and are digging into the foundations of British industry.
Working from home, they've established an international reputation. They now rank among the top operators in the computer software field, and their company has achieved an annual turnover of more than seven million pounds.
F International was formed in 1962 by Steve Shirley , a frustrated mother who decided that her work belonged at home with her family. Until recently, the company was run by Alison Newell , a mother of two and a rising star in the CBI.
In this film Sally Hardcastle ventures into the company of these women-and even finds a man!

Dr David Owen 's mother believes that politicians
'live in an ivory tower - they need to be brought back down to earth'.
Is the Alliance's claim that they are a major third force in British politics a dream or a reality? Will they hold the middle ground in the next general election? And which David will lead - Owen or Steel?
In the last Labour government, Dr David Owen was the youngest Foreign
Secretary in history. Tonight he is Open to Question by young people from all over Britain.

with Chris Kelly Michael Barry and Jill Goolden
The great British banger - can you still find it? Or with mass-production and make-weight 'fillings' has it gone forever? Banger fanatic Henry Cooper leads an investigating team of girl guides, gourmets, army sergeants and sausage sages. And what about British beer? How good is a new 'recipe' for home-brew where you just add water and wait 21 days? And then there's crafty casserole, using a thoroughly British ingredient that's been ignored for at least 100 years. A thoroughly patriotic programme for the first of a new 14-part series.

Producer PETER BAZALGETTE
