1955 Special Enquiry - Health for the People - The Impact of the NHS in Salford.
28 December 1955
Robert Reid (pictured) trudges around a grimy and polluted Salford in 1955 to remind us just how much of a profound effect on the nation's health the NHS had. We watch the story of the growing NHS unfold with a new emphasis on preventative healthcare, including the promotion of large-scale immunisation programmes and the provision of better health education for the masses.
The disastrous effects of smog on the nation's lungs continued to be a major healthcare issue until the arrival of the Clean Air Act of 1956. This legislation followed the severe London smog of 1952, during which 4,000 people died. The Act allowed local authorities to create smokeless zones, with householders encouraged to burn smokeless fuels.

HG WE
hg-wells-on-a-world-unity-1934
9 January 1934
HG Wells rejects patriotism and nationalism in this intentionally provocative talk, speaking of his great desire for a future 'world unity' where barriers between countries are dissolved. While acknowledging his own great pride in being an Englishman, Wells decries both the increasing nationalism that is plaguing the world and the march towards war, a catastrophe that many believe is now inevitable, while still hoping for peace and co-operation if the courage and imagination can be found. Next, he turns his attention to the topic of aviation, looking forward to a time when 'this great gift of invention, flying' might be available to all for the purposes of international travel.
The concern that Wells expressed over nationalism was inspired by the rise of Germany's National Socialist Party - aka the Nazi Party - which had assumed power the previous spring under the leadership of Adolf Hitler.

1951-newsreel-car-engined-plane-wins-air
24 September 1951
Raymond Baxter reports on the South Coast Air Race.
Cameraman Cyril Page climbs aboard a Percival Proctor to give a pilot's view of the race. Flying over countryside, beaches and cliffs, the plane (named Windmill Girl) heads for the finishing line at Brighton Pier where enthusiastic crowds are gathered. The South Coast Air Race was organised by the Daily Express and the Royal Aero Club.
Zita Irwin, the pilot of the plane used for this broadcast, was one of a number of women recruited into the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA). The ATA transported aircraft from the factories to the RAF's airfields in Britain during the Second World War, enabling RAF pilots to tend to front line duties. Reportedly, at first female pilots weren't allowed to wear trousers, only skirts.

1951-trooping-the-colour-princess
07 June 1951
His Majesty King George VI is unable to attend Trooping the Colour due to ill health, so his place is taken by his daughter, Princess Elizabeth. The princess, riding side-saddle, wears a modified version of the regiment's uniform. The young Prince Charles rides alongside his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother), and his aunt, Princess Margaret, in a horse-drawn carriage. The colour trooped is that of the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards.
The horse ridden by the princess at this event was called Winston, while the music played at the beginning of the troop inspection is 'The Triumphal March (Glory to Egypt, to Isis!)' from 'Aida' by Giuseppe Verdi.

YUL B
yul-brynner-1972-interview
Broadcast 20 July 1972
The star of 'The King and I' (1956) and 'The Magnificent Seven' (1960), Yul Brynner, remembers busking with his guitar in Paris, trying out for a circus trapeze act and treading the boards in touring productions of Shakespeare's plays. He also recalls the impromptu audition that would lead Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein to cast him in what is, perhaps, his most famous role: the King of Siam in 'The King and I'.
Yul Brynner starred in the stage version of 'The King and I' on 4,525 occasions, starting with the first Broadway production in 1951 and continuing throughout the span of his subsequent career. He won an Oscar for Best Actor for his part in the 1956 screen version and even reprised the role in a farewell stage run in 1985 after learning that he was dying of lung cancer.
