First in an eight-part series in which journalist Simon Dring retraces the overland journey he made across Europe to India in 1962 to discover whether anyone still journeys along the legendary hippy trail and, if so, who are they and why do they do it.
Dring finds the trail to be alive and well. Old-timer dropouts, middle-aged middle-class runaways and armies of today's young people from all over the world bustle along the route. Tonight, we meet, among others, a couple out on their first foreign adventure, a group of British women bicycling to the Himalayas in search of freedom and romance, and a French policeman walking his dog to Jerusalem.
One of the most important revolutions of the 20th century has taken place not on the battlefield but in the home. In 1900, one in three working women in Britain was a domestic servant.
Fifty years later, that entire way of life had disappeared, with wide-ranging implications for all women.
With the help of archive film of domestic life through the century, and interviews with former domestic servants, employers and experts, Timewatch looks at how the way we live, the design of our houses, and the role of women have all been caught up in this quiet revolution. It also asks whether the need for domestic help is now back on the agenda.
Ten years after the publication of his bestseller In Search of Excellence, businesses still take note of the management advice and ideas of Tom Peters , and few companies can say they have not been influenced by his rhetoric. Many others have joined his ranks, creating a multi-million pound publishing and conference industry promoting business techniques to managers. Jane Corbin talks to Tom Peters and asks whether listening to management gurus is doing any good. Producer Janet Jones ; Editor Jane Ellison
