Cutting Edge

This programme followed England football manager Graham Taylor through the 18 months before his team's failed attempt to win through to the World Cup Finals. It reveals a man dealing with extreme pressures. It includes the controversial Kosman incident in the deciding match in Holland, the England dressing room, Taylor telling David Platt he is no longer the England captain, an FA Council meeting where Taylor defends Gascoigne's behaviour, and the press conference before the Holland match.

When members of Britain's Armed Forces break military law, they are sent to a military detention centre, nicknamed 'The Glasshouse'. Today, the only Glasshouse is outside Colchester, housing under guard 300 men and women who have fallen of the military disciplinary system. T he maximum sentence is 2 years; most serve just a few months. The regime is said to be the toughest and strictest of any corrective training establishment. Most who go never return there. They face a relentless daily routine of military drill and kit inspections. But the system rewards those who co-operate as much as punish those who buck it.
