The series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control.
A Shabby Dog Story
All right, do your own dirty work, Mr Secretary of State, you come down, you pick who lives, who dies, you put the needle in the dog's leg, you watch the life drain out of it. We don't want to say that but we will if we have to.
(Gavin Grant , RSPCA)
The RSPCA has given the Government until 1996 to introduce compulsory dog registration, a system which already works well in controlling the problem of strays in other countries.
The staff at the Birmingham branch of the RSPCA reveal the growing crisis in Britain. They found new homes for 1,800 strays last year, but with as many as 50 new arrivals every day, they also had the distressing task of destroying 2,800 more. Producer Gavin Dutton

The last in a series of programmes about British teenagers from the 1950s to today.
Ban the Bomb, the Vietnam War, Rock against Racism - the teenage years are a time to rebel not just against parents and school, but against the world which adults have made. It is largely young people who have kept public acts of protest alive since the 50s. In the last two decades teenagers have led the demand for greater tolerance, while black teenagers have shown a greater impatience for social justice than their parents.
