The last in an 11-part television history of Britain at work in the 20th century. Hindsight
In earlier programmes men and women who worked across British industry, from textile mills to car plants, shipyards to television factories, told what has happened to them since the First World War.
Though there have been massive improvements in wages and conditions, one question dominates these stories: why did Britain's productivity and competitiveness fall so far behind her neighbours in Western Europe, America and Japan? Was it the 19th-century inheritance, labour relations, or the part played by the Government, that held Britain back? Managers and workers look back on what went right, and what went wrong.

Every week it's estimated that as many as 1,000 horses and ponies are slaughtered in this country for human consumption abroad. It's a controversial trade whose opponents claim is open to abuse and cruelty. The programme looks at the campaign being waged by the Horse Rescue Fund in Suffolk to save some of these ponies from starvation and slaughter.
