Timeshift

Switch Off Something: Britain and the Three-Day Week (6x1)

Air date: Apr 01, 2006

Welcome to 1973 - the year that saw the three-day week and the arrival of a fictional character from 2006 in the BBC1 drama Life on Mars. The success of the latter has acted as a springboard for a week-long BBC4 season. This excellent Time Shift concentrates on the winter of strikes and power cuts.
