'This Week' has returned to the eventful winter of 1973/4 to ask what the turning points were, and whether those involved accept that the outcome was inevitable. And startling admissions are made.
Thames Televisions Liew Gardner interviews the prominent figures about the the time the country experienced power outages and the infamous three day week.
Interviewees:
RT. HON PETER WALKER MP
MICHAEL MCGAHEY.
LORD AMRSTONG
JOE GORMLEY
SIR DEREK EZRA
RT. HON JAMES PRIOR. NP,
LEN MURRAY
JOHN SELWN CUMMER
First shown: 16/03/1978

Heath noticeable by his absence in this excellent programme. Shows how old im getting as most of the people featured in this programme were then the age i am now,,,,,

I don't understand what they mean by "three day week". Do they mean you only get 72 hours electricity a week ? If it means only working 3 days a week then why is that a bad thing if they're paid for only 3 days?

A little confused as this I’m sure would be the early seventies under Ted Heaths premiership not 1978 as at this time James Callaghan was Prime Minister

1973 burning candles. 2023 got the candles back out. So glad I have a stack load of combustable wax things left by my Grandma. I could alway eat them.......................................................

Thames TV, stop putting an advert right after the first five seconds of each of your videos. It is pathetic and irritating. Move the ad to later on in the video.
