on THE CAR WORKERS
Redundancy, redeployment, shake-out-the harsh new language of The Squeeze. What does it all mean in the housing estates around B.M.C.'s Birmingham factory?
Tonight's programme looks at the subject through the eyes of the car workers, their families, and the shopkeepers who are at the heart. of what, only a few months ago, was the booming car industry.
Reporter in Birmingham, PETER COLBOURNE
Introduced by EDGAR LUSTGARTEN
Produced in Birmingham by James Gallagher
Postponed from November 29

Sequence
... And that, if memory recur. the sun's
Under eclipse, and the day blotted out ... W. B. YEATS
JOHN BARROW (baritone) WILFRID PARRY (piano) PERRY HART (violin) NINA MILKINA (piano)
Devised by Leo Black who writes:
The ' sequence ' of uninterrupted music tonight is of an unusual kind; normally the motive deciding what follows what in these sequences is purely musical. but here the idea came from a verse of Yeats, which seems amazingly to capture an experience very like that in Schubert's (and Heine's) ' Der Doppelganger.' Schubert's song ends the sequence. the rest builds up to it. by way of a movement for piano and violin composed by Mozart in the full flood of his love for Aloysia Weber.
