Presented by John Huntley 2: All in a Day's Work
What was it like to be at work in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s? The good old days, or the days of dark, satanic mills? And if you lived through those years, how do you remember your working life?
Through old films,
John Huntley looks at people at work, including life in an ; iron foundry in Chippenham : in the 1920s; the daily round of crofting women in the Shetlands of the 1930s; how brushes were made in a Bristol factory before the last war, and how Scottish Co-op workers were trained in the art of giving courteous service in the 1950s.

A personal enquiry in six parts by Ean Begg, a Jungian analyst and psychotherapist
1: Gambling with Hope
Death is coming out of the closet. People are now looking at their fears and anxieties about death more openly than before; they are less afraid to discuss visions, visitations, out-of the-body and near-death experiences. Is there any evidence to assure us that death is merely a gateway to another life?

A weekly report on the world of education with Linda Alexander and Martin Young
Adults are filling some of the empty seats in Scotland's schools. St Andrew's High
School in Clydebank now has almost as many parents, grandparents and other adults coming in for classes as children. Some are trying for exams, others learning for pleasure. Encouraging the community back to school is proving a popular success. It is changing the lives of individuals and the shape of adult education.

Are industrial tribunals fair? Four Rolls-Royce workers with more than a hundred years service between them don't think so. They were sacked and disgraced when the company said they had stolen small sums of money by fiddling their time sheets. The men passionately deny the charge, but their industrial tribunal accepted the company's case without any further investigation of its own.

Nominated for the BAFT A award as Best Factual Series every year since 1981. Five Go to Florida
They would be away less than a week, but it would be unforgettable. Ten-year-old twins Kerry and Peter [text removed] would cut their birthday cake on the plane. Denise [text removed] would meet the characters she's always loved. Adrian [text removed]and Lee [text removed] would find new friendships and freedoms.
Just five of the 286 children, from all over Britain, to be seen off at Heathrow Airport by HRH The Princess of Wales
- on their way to Florida and all the fun of Disney World.
For many of the children, it's a dream come true. And it's all free. A charity has taken more than a year to raise the money and plan the trip. The young holiday-makers have one thing in common. Almost all of them are very seriously ill. For some, it may be the last holiday of their lives ...
