Programme presented by Andy Craig and Sue Jay. Today's studio audience are from the marginal seat of Cannock and Burntwood.

We see a group of holidaymakers leaving Birmingham by coach cut with clips of Margaret Thatcher and Neil Kinnock campaigning. Interview with Keith Purdom, sales manager for Horizon about their package holiday sales. View inside Horizon call centre.
