The Finishing Line
Half-a-million British workers will retire this year. Better health and earlier retirement promise many of them 20 or 30 years of life after work. Rich or poor, they are the fastest growing sector of the population, and their existence has been described as the greatest challenge to Western society since the Industrial Revolution.
Helen Boaden investigates how ready people are to face the finishing line, with the help of 400 older workers on a pre-retirement course by the sea.

The fourth ofnineprogrammes in the award-winning series filmed over two years inside the secretive world of Customs and Excise. Surveillance
Rural Ulster: market day in Ballymena and the powerful voice of the Rev Ian Paisley is booming across the packed market. Unknown to all, undercover officers are surveying the scene from a plain observation van. On one side, Paisley; on the other, their quarry - an old enemy selling poteen.
This very Irish story becomes tense during the night-time surveillance of the target's remote farmhouse. As the team closes in on his still, the brewer makes a run for it and, in scenes reminiscent of 1930s prohibition, the drama unfolds ...
