'There's only one thing worse than being a manager, and that's a debt-collector in Glasgow.' Bill Shankly 's view of the manager's job might not have been shared by Sir Matt Busby and Jock Stein. What all three do share are common roots in the mining communities of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire. As
Hugh Mcllvanney observes 'They raised the commonsense of the mining community to the level of wisdom.'

Not an everyday story of country folk

Jeffrey Archer and his scientist wife Mary, a world expert on solar energy, have lived through more than their fair share of dramatic successes and disasters; most recently 'the biggest libel action this century'.

Ross-on-Wye
In which the world's fastest rock show finally becomes the wettest! After four sodden weeks at the seaside, Tony Baker and Jenny Powell plunge into a PGL activity holiday on the river Wye.
Co-starring in these tales of the river bank are
Sandra Roberts and Emma Jones , the two new presenters from
Wales. It's an orgy of outdoor pursuits, abseiling, motocross, horse riding, and grass ski-ing, though viewers are advised not to copy Tony's canoeing technique if they want to avoid getting water on the brain - and everywhere else for that matter.

Whose Countryside is It? Is the upsurge in rural lifestyles leading to the death of Britain's villages? As more city folk buy their cottage in the country what is left for the locals whose families have lived in the villages for generations?
Last week Brass Tacks reported on the conflict caused by soaring countryside house prices and rural folk unable to compete in the same market.
Tonight John Harrison asks if the trend is inevitable or whether action should be taken to maintain traditional village life. Joining him in the studio are the new rural converts, the traditionalists, and you, the viewers, who rang in to have your say.
