Description

Programme presented in the studio by Tony Francis. The first report contrasts the lives of David Naish from Budby in Nottinghamshire who is a farmer aided by government and EEC subsidies and Philip Sanders who is running a struggling engineering firm manufacturing saws in Walsall without government help. Francis interviews both men and we see them at work carrying out their respective jobs.

The film report is followed by a studio debate between David Naish and Richard Body, the Conservative MP for Holland with Boston who is a critic of farming subsidies.

The second item on the programme is a profile of police woman Maxine Brettell who enjoys disco dancing. We see Brettell on her beat in Cradley Heath and dancing in a disco. Francis interviews her about gender roles and the contrast between her job and hobby.
