Unfortunately
McDonald Hobley's introduction of "Sir
Stifford Crapps" seems to have been lost to the nation. But he suitably begins this revealing gallop through four decades of the best and worst of British political broadcasts by announcingthe first-ever such address, by Liberal spokesman Lord Samuel, who forgets his words, shuffles his notes and gets faded out. Jimmy Savile fails to fix it for Jeremy Thorpe , Margaret Thatcher unveils her remodelled voice,
Corin Redgrave speaks up for the Workers Revolutionary Party and John Cleese for the SDP, while film director Hugh Hudson candidly recalls the making of the so-called Kinnock - the Movie. In 40 years the relationship between politician and TV camera has changed from the suspicious and stilted to the slick manoeuvring of image and "sound bite". Narrated by Vivian White.

Reporter Su Pennington talks to young people about their secret lifestyles and to parents who had no idea that drugs are passed among their children like sweets in a playground. She also asks teachers and the police what they are doing to tackle this disturbing new drugs craze.
