Richard Hudson piece to camera with new wireless mobile phone (it's housed in a large suitcase). We then see shots of some of the new novelty telephones including a Mickey Mouse one that will become legal to use following the end of the Post Office monopoly on telephone equipment. Hudson-Evans interview with Robin Dudney, telephone supplier, showing some of the latest styles in phones, including antique style phones. Finally Hudson-Evans demonstrates how a letter can be sent by phone (a fax machine - although it replicates hand writing with a mechanical arm).
