Episodes

1: Hereford - Bourges (France)

2: Newcastle - Aarhus (Denmark)

May 7, 1970

3: Oxford - Padua (Italy)

May 14, 1970

Oxford and Padua are not only among Europe's most historic centres of learning. They are also part of the booming industrial complex of the new Europe. How far can they reconcile their traditional roles with the pressures of the 1970s?

4: Inverness - Lulea (Sweden)

May 28, 1970

The North of England and Belgium share the same taste for chips and strong beer. They face the same problems of an industrial heritage and they have the same chance to create a lively and vigorous environment.
