This week, the changing world of office design. The introduction of the typewriter in the 1880s began the office revolution. By 1911, women accounted for a quarter of all clerical jobs. In the past office design was dictated by the managers. It often resulted in cramped and uncomfortable working conditions for the staff. Now, greater attention is being paid to the needs of everyone who works in an office - with designer furniture and interior decorators fast becoming a feature of everyday life.
In Episode 8 of The Move,
Derek Welsh , the managing director of EPL, visits the new site at St Neots by helicopter.

The way we live now. Knickerbockers in Knightsbridge
Hill House School, one of the largest prep schools in Britain, is unlike any other. It has no governors, no parent/teacher association, no office, no secretary, no typewriter. The most famous old boy is the Prince of Wales. Founder Colonel Stuart Townend, Empire Games gold medallist, 80 this year, still runs the school in his own unconventional way. 'Colonel Bossyboots', the News of the World dubbed him - but he didn't mind. 'I'm the King of Hans Place ,' he says.
The boys and girls of Hill House wear knickerbockers. Teachers are fined if they're ill, but handed £10 after staff meetings.
Sports are important. The Colonel gets up at 4.00am daily, and flies to Switzerland every week. He leads groups of pupils on tough treks in the Swiss Alps. 'I like to get to the top in everything.... why not be top?'
