A Job for Life?
'What's happening now is that a few people in power are robbing this country of our natural heritage - oil, coal, railways, national health - everything.'
The historic Swindon workshops, the heart of Brunei's Great Western
Railway recently joined the growing list of closed factories. Once Swindon's products were world famous, its 14,000 employees justly proud of their skills. Now, having accepted massive redundancies and reorganisation in the long fight to save their works, most survivors will join the dole queues.
Just before the closure was announced, Peter Brown visited Swindon to see what survived of the old GWR spirit. Later he returned to find a bitter and disillusioned workforce.

The classic space adventure series chronicling the exploits of the captain and crew of the USS Enterprise.
Starring William Shatner as Captain James T Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr McCoy

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but to behold a Medusan is to go mad. Just such a prospect faces Spock when the alien is given passage by the Enterprise, and excites some peculiar jealousies which leave the ship suspended in a cosmic limbo... (R)

Heather
Late summer is 'heather time' when heaths and moors greet us with a glowing patchwork of pinks and purples.
Yet whether its upland moor or lowland heath, it's no use pretending they're 'natural' - both are man-made landscapes. Michael Jordan looks at how, in these poor soils, the heather has found its niche.

From the Virago bookshop in Covent Garden
Peter France introduces three stories about the lives of women in worlds dominated by men.
The Nine Day Queen: Lady Jane Grey was used by men of power when she was alive, and by male propagandists when she was dead. A new film about her life is to be released next month. What interpretation do its makers offer of the 16-year-old girl who was beheaded for treason more than 400 years ago?

Most Dangerous Women: shows how close the leaders of a women's international peace movement came to getting the most powerful men in the world to stop the Great War in the middle of 1915.

The World of Mary Ellen Best: illustrates how one woman artist left a vivid record of the domestic surroundings of her time simply because she was denied the opportunities freely available to her male contemporaries.

Countdown to Today
The inside story of the birth of a national newspaper, filmed with unique access over six months.
'The Daily Shah', they nicknamed it. It was to be
'the dream paper', glitteringly new. The very latest technology, a special agreement with just one union, brand new colour printing presses and an address far from Fleet Street.
The offices near Vauxhall
Bridge were dark and makeshift when 40 Minutes began filming last September. But Brian MacArthur ,
Editor-in-Chief, was already installed. So were Jonathan Holborow and Anthony Holden , newly-appointed Weekday and Weekend
Editors. Journalists were hurrying to ask for jobs. Computer experts looked knowledgeable. Pressures grew. Everyone smoked. Soon a name had to be chosen. 'Great British Daily'? 'The Trumpeter'? 'Morning Glory'? They settled on Today - always Eddie Shah 's favourite.
After the dramas and the dummy-runs, the real thing - launch-night. Will the computer system break down yet again? Will they get the paper to bed on time? Can
Eddie Shah keep it all under control?
