Volvo Dump Truck
In the last of his series
Richard Blizzard makes something for the grown-ups: a detailed scale model of the Volvo dump truck. This powerful yellow machine with its huge black wheels is equivalent in weight to 200 mini cars. To reproduce the tipper mechanism and all the intricate detail of the bodywork, you'll need wood-working skills but if you decide to take on the challenge, your efforts will be well rewarded.

Inner City Blues
On election night
Mrs Thatcher committed herself to tackling Britain's inner cities. For the last 15 years Open Space and its predecessor Open Door have enabled people to make programmes under their own editorial control, many of which have come from inner city groups.
This rich archive is drawn upon to present a portrait of the deepening urban crisis through the eyes of the people who have to live with the problems and have struggled to solve them.
From more than a dozen very different communities filmed during the last 15 years, the issues remain disturbingly similar - bad housing, social dereliction, economic decline and mass unemployment. Film editor PETER CLARKE
Series producer PETER LEE-WRIGHT Director PHILIP MORROW Producer GILES OAKLEY
Open Space is the series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control helped by the Community Programme Unit.

The Oriental Option
Japan is probably the richest country in the world; a country where product is king and finance its servant. The robot company Fanuc has six times the production capacity it needs and markets are poor. Even so Dr Inaba. diminutive shogun of this robot empire, can afford to sit out the lean years. He has the backing of government, other members of his industrial clan and the bank.
Things are different 6,000 miles away. The Clarkes are alone with their robot. All loans for their Hampshire business have had to be personally guaranteed. Their house is on the line. The bank has foreclosed and the company is in receivership.
Tonight Will Hutton looks at the oriental option, a financial system that is allowing the Japanese to dominate world markets. Producer MARIE THOMAS
