An 11 -part television history of Britain at work in the 20th century.
3: Counter Revolution
Tea, cocoa and currants, were still sold loose when Servetus Hartley began work in the Rochdale Co-op. Then the manufacturers began to send their goods in packets:
'We were selling loose things, weighing them out, and that was our labour. We thought that if it came in packets there wouldn't be any jobs.' Pre-packaging is only one of the changes that swept through retailing. From the family-owned shop to the multiple chain, from counter-service to the supermarket, the turnover has been constant. Many went out of business. Others became millionaires.

A thriller in four parts by HOWARD BRENTON with 3: The War Room
Eddie Cass , small-time crook, throws this hatbox into the Thames. With the head still in it. Now everyone reckons he knows who did it. The CID, stinking of scent; the aristocracy warming his legs with their cigars; the girl in a mac and not much else.
Trouble is, the only one who seems to know is Dana. His ex. But she's not saying.
