Jumbo / 1969

In just four months, the world's first jumbo jet goes into regular service over the Atlantic. Already 200 have been ordered by the world's airlines. Each is designed to carry nearly 500 passengers. The jumbo has been called a 'pilot's dream.' But will it also be an airport's nightmare? By next year, half a dozen of the giants may be queuing at peak hours to disgorge their passengers at London Airport. Round the world, airports face their biggest jam in history. Jumbo jets will revolutionise airport design. But they may also speed up other travel developments, with far-reaching effects on the design and peace, of our cities.

Engines Must Not Enter the Potato Siding / 1969

First transmitted in 1969, this film looks at a handful of the 280,000 railwaymen who work in Britain, especially the men who worked on the former Midland and Great Central routes, as they reflect on their changing industry. Inside Sheffield Railway Men's Club former steam locomotive crew discuss the transition from steam to electric and diesel engines, and heatedly debate their respective merits. Meanwhile, on the Manchester-Sheffield line a former steam locomotive driver remembers what it was like to go through the Woodhead Tunnel, where driver and fireman had to crouch down to avoid the fumes and get breathable air. Signalman Michael Gatonby reveals life inside the signal box, one of the loneliest and busiest jobs on the railway line.

Triti /

A compulsive gambler and his girlfriend on her birthday, illegal immigrants, salsa dancers, lovers in their love nest, amateur thieves, a girl in a wheel chair, a doctor, and a radio host are just some of the many, many characters that form this mosaic of young life in Greece. From the early hours of the day to the evening on a Tuesday (not) like any other, their stories reel off in episodes with not much connection apart from Athens´ urban scene and a certain idea of an unsuccessful search: everyone seems to want something, or someone, and they can´t get it.
