[Starring] George Formby
"No Limit" continues a season of films starring Britain's most endearing film comedian. With Florence Desmond

George Shuttleworth - also known as the 'Speed Demon', decides to enter the Isle of Man TT races with results that are both richly comic and hair-raising.
Formby finds time for songs such as "In a Little Wigan Garden" and "I'm a Speed King" amid the excitement of the races, which includes footage from the 1935 event.

The series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control. Childcare Crisis
Employers desperately need women workers because of a dramatic drop in the number of school leavers. But who will look after the children while they are at work?
Britain has fewer publicly-funded childcare facilities than other EEC countries.
The government expects private enterprise and employers to provide nurseries and creches. In this programme, the organisation Childcare Now argues that Britain is heading towards the American style of childcare. Their concern is that this country will end up with a two-tier system - with a handful of very expensive services for the rich and a lot of poor quality childcare for the rest.

from Barnsdale with Geoff Hamilton and Anne Swithinbank.
Collecting seed to perpetuate plants that have been particularly successful this year can lead to some excitement next year. You might end up with an aquilegia, a poppy, a foxglove that no one else has ever grown before. Autumn flowering bulbs for late season colour will take over from fading annuals, and why not try blueberries to garnish next year's Christmas turkey? Production assistant
