0:25:39 > 0:25:42They're going right in that dishwasher.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59Mrs Ward, in our emergency accommodation, well, it's not very nice.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Some of the people are a little...rough.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08- Are you sure you want to go in? - Look we've been here for six hours.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13- If I had a choice, would I have stayed?- All right. Sit down.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Mr Ward, please.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Have you got a bit of chocolate to keep him quiet, Cath?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I'd like to check one or two facts, please.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34- You and your wife lived at your mother's house up to what date? - January '62.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39- What address would that be? - 97 Maysole Street.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Really? Not Mayberry?- No. Maysole.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Do you have any sisters?- No.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- Oh, I thought...- My teenage sister, but she hasn't got a house.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Grandmother or grandfather?- I've got a grandfather, but he's in a home.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Mr Ward, how many rooms does your mother occupy at Maysole Road?
0:27:00 > 0:27:05One bedroom and a living room, but there are three adults living there.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10The accommodation is for wives only. We can't accommodate husbands.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12But why can't you accommodate husbands?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16We used to but we had to discontinue the practice.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19They used to tear up the sheets.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29We have no objection to you coming on a weekday evening, provided you are gone by eight.
0:27:29 > 0:27:36The front entrance must not be used by you homeless. There's a very good reason. It upsets the old people.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41Of course, this accommodation really was meant for them.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45No alcohol in the building. About this, we are very strict.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Inmates are expected to take a regular bath and get fresh air.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Rent, we charge five shillings a night for each adult
0:27:53 > 0:27:57and three bob for a child, payable in advance.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01There are other rules but you'll pick them up as you go along.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Any questions? - Well, I don't think very much of it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08In many places, families are not kept together.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12They're broken up, children put in care et cetera.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15If we rehoused homeless families,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18it would be an easy way to jump the queue.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20We can't do it for obvious reasons.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25It must be strictly understood that this accommodation is temporary.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28After three months, make no mistake, we turn you out.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30So keep searching.

0:30:01 > 0:30:07- It's not just yourself to think about now. - I'll enjoy myself while I'm single.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08they would declare a state of emergency.

0:31:54 > 0:31:59'the consequential loss, people not getting to work, trading stopping,'

0:32:02 > 0:32:07The next 12 hours will be crucial, in terms of public safety.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12While the situation remains unclear, people will hoard food and supplies.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:49:37 > 0:49:42They're absolutely right. You went for it, and it's good.
0:49:42 > 0:49:47But refinement. You have what it takes but take all of her direction.
0:49:47 > 0:49:52And listen to the music. I felt you were off the music.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55- Yes.- That doesn't help in dancing.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59'Time to collect the scores from the judges...'

0:50:41 > 0:50:44Let's get on to this business of being famous,
0:50:44 > 0:50:48which is where you're leading the conversation.
0:50:48 > 0:50:52Apart from critical appreciation of your work as a playwright,
0:50:52 > 0:50:56have you any hankering after personal publicity?
0:50:56 > 0:51:00- No.- You're honest enough to have analysed yourself.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03I wonder whether you do, deep down,
0:51:03 > 0:51:07have a desire to be a figure of hate with the public?
0:51:07 > 0:51:10Yes. I know what you mean.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Er...I don't THINK so.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15I mean, I think there was a time,
0:51:15 > 0:51:22there was a period when I courted publicity, to some extent.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25Even then, it was to a limited extent
0:51:25 > 0:51:28because...
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Um...
0:51:33 > 0:51:38One did it because... from one's show business instinct.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41You thought the way to get people in
0:51:41 > 0:51:45was to get as many lines as possible.
0:51:45 > 0:51:49Then, of course, after that point was reached,
0:51:49 > 0:51:53the intrusion into one's life became so intense
0:51:53 > 0:51:57and so unpleasant,
0:51:57 > 0:52:02that one made every effort to avoid it.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13THEME TUNE PLAYS
0:52:39 > 0:52:43You never wanted to be anything else but a footballer.
0:52:43 > 0:52:49I was always asked by my teachers what I wanted to be when I grew up
0:52:49 > 0:52:53and the only thing I used to say was a footballer.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57I'm sure they had their doubts, but I never had my doubts
0:52:57 > 0:53:02about becoming a professional footballer and I love every minute.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Were you always naturally gifted?
0:53:04 > 0:53:09Erm...I was because sometimes I used to get kicked all over the place.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Bruises from head to toe.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15I used to get quite a bit of stick at school,
0:53:15 > 0:53:21but I was never one to turn round and say I was really good at football when I was 10, 11.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24I left that for other people.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27My dad never really told me I was that good.
0:53:27 > 0:53:32But I think, deep down, he knew that I had a bit of ability.
0:53:32 > 0:53:37It's that thing that you're as good as the amount that you practise.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- You've always practised from being a young kid.- Yeah.
0:53:40 > 0:53:46When young kids ask questions to me, that's the first thing I always say.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48Practice gets you to the top.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53Obviously, you've got to have a certain amount of ability.
0:53:53 > 0:53:59It's something my dad drummed into me since I was eight, nine, 10.

0:54:20 > 0:54:23APPLAUSE
0:54:28 > 0:54:34How hard is it to find people? They all look pretty good to me in the early stages.
0:54:34 > 0:54:38There seems to be a lot of people who are up to the task.
0:54:38 > 0:54:43Is there a big difference between people who nail those leading roles
0:54:43 > 0:54:47and the people who are not quite star quality?
0:54:47 > 0:54:53- Couldn't just about anyone do it? - Star quality is difficult to find. - Tell me about it.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57Sorry, I... But a leading man who could star in the West End
0:54:57 > 0:54:59or a leading girl,
0:54:59 > 0:55:01you begin to run out.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Elaine Paige, great. Fantastic.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08John, you could sell out. Michael Ball.
0:55:08 > 0:55:13I think, Connie Fisher. It's hard to find kids you can say that about.
0:55:13 > 0:55:18I look at it from the fact that if I'm in an audience, watching them,
0:55:18 > 0:55:23if I feel my attention is drawn to them, that's star quality.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27If I'm going like this... "Finish the song." It's not the star.

0:56:12 > 0:56:17For an industry used to banner headlines and emotive descriptions,
0:56:17 > 0:56:21the motor trade has excelled itself over a piece of equipment
0:56:21 > 0:56:25not much bigger than your speedometer.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29It's a tachograph to some, a spy in the cab to others.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31This is what it looks like.
0:56:31 > 0:56:35The tachograph is a clock-speedometer combination
0:56:35 > 0:56:38which records on a disc in the back
0:56:38 > 0:56:42the distance a vehicle travels, the time it's used
0:56:42 > 0:56:45and the speed at which it travels.
0:56:45 > 0:56:51It gives an accurate record without the need for manual records or logs.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54It starts to work as soon as I switch on.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01Power!
0:58:03 > 0:58:06I am breaking the speed limit indoors!
0:58:06 > 0:58:09He's right on my tail!

0:58:14 > 0:58:17Round the palm tree!
0:58:20 > 0:58:23He's taken out Costa Coffee!
0:58:23 > 0:58:27The baddie has made the classic baddie error.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29He's got too much power.
