S19E17 - Review of the Year: The Sights and Sounds of ‘71
If you worked in at UCS, or went on strike at the Post Office; if you waited for the sack at Rolls-Royce; if you can't understand decimals; if you used to read the Daily Sketch, or insured your car with the V & G; if you tried to follow the great debate, or missed out on your school milk - then this programme is about you.
The rest of us lived through it all - Ibrox, Ulster, Europe, Etna, Rhodesia, Pakistan.
Harold Wilson wrote a book - Ted Heath spoke French. Rudi Dutschke went home - Chay Blyth came home. Mao came in - Chiang went out. Arsenal the double - Trevino the treble.
And Harvey Smith gave us the sign of the times.

S19E46 - The Price of Your Car
This year nearly 100,000 people will be casualties on our roads. There are ways to reduce accidents - but they all cost money. Would you be prepared to pay £250 extra to have a safer car? Or be willing to be stopped at random by a policeman for a breath test? Or be legally compelled to wear a seat belt?
Tonight Panorama looks at the rising cost and suffering of road accidents, and asks what price are we prepared to pay to make our cars and roads safer?
