Blue and red spotlights illuminate this daredevil and we see his tights, his wide-sleeved theatrical shirt and the concentration and grim determination on his face - the look of a professional trickster at work. He may be showing a seemingly dangerous and unpredictable stunt though in truth, he will have rehearsed this simple balancing act for many years but must still keep up the illusion of danger for the sake of a gasping, gullible audience.

  • In the privacy of her own country home, an elderly French lady is about to have eye-drops administered by her local doctor in the Vosges town of Ban de Laveline. Holding her eyelids up with a thumb in preparation of giving the woman the necessary medicine, the young health professional reaches for his equipment and the lady is left looking rather startled and uncomfortable for a few moments as her eye stares wildly. We are in her small cottage on the outskirts of town and the doctor is making his rounds to various patients unable to attend his daily surgery. The lady wears a colourful apron, typical of French working people, and is possibly in her seventies, living alone with only kind neighbours to ensure her safety. <br />

  • Theodore Kyriakou is seen in his Real Greek restaurant in Hoxton, East London. He smiles to the view dressed in chef's apron and with a pen behind his ear. This Greek-born chef once served in the military but realised his ambition to cook by coming to London and eventually being the co-owner of Livebait, the renowned London fish restaurant chain. In 1999, he finally opened a restaurant specialising in the kind of food his mother used to make. The Real Greek was in business, recreating many of the dishes he remembered, he introduced authentic Greek cuisine to a new audience. Kyriakou's parents ran a deli in Athens. His mother, a natural cook, didn't follow recipes, though many of her dishes are influenced by a 2,000-year-old cookbook, the Deipnosophistai by Athenaeus. She still gets calls from her son to check facts.

  • A gentleman dressed in a pin-stripe suit favoured by older workers in England, exhales the smoke from a fat cigar during a lunch-hour in Trinity Square in the City of London. The man is overweight and leads an unhealthy lifestyle, his chin overlapping his striped shirt. The cigar is held at the tips of two fingers and we can see in profile the billowing of a smoky cloud  from the man's lips. Government statistics suggest that in 2001, 27% of adults aged 16 and over smoked cigarettes in England; 28% of men and 25% of women. 66% of smokers in England wanted to give up smoking but more than 120,000 deaths were caused by smoking in the UK in 1995; that is, one in five of all deaths.

  • Four office workers are outside their place of employment in central London for a quick cigarette break. Puffing guiltily on their fags that have sought a dark place on the pavement beneath some shelter although it is warm enough for two of the men to wear only shirts and ties while the only lady present is in a jumper. One member of the group draws heavily on his cigarette, a sign of his addiction and enjoyment of taking a five or ten-minute pause from his office job. A recent report showed smokers each lose an average of 30 minutes a day from their  workplaces to satisfy their habit. The average smoker takes at least three breaks from the office, each lasting around 10 minutes, research for the Benenden Healthcare Society found. The healthcare group estimates that 290,000 working days are being lost by people leaving their office to smoke.

  • A shipbuilder wearing a face mask, leans through the incomplete window belonging to the superstructure of a large German ferry at the Polish Gdansk shipyard - once known as the Lenin Shipyard but still the largest of its kind in modern Poland. The grimy and hazardous working conditions make for a dangerous environment in which to work. His overalls are torn from jagged steel edges and his skin is dirty. Here in 1980 the union Solidarity (Solidarnosc) was conceived and was partly responsible for a growing dissent against Communist rule, ultimately contributing towards the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lech Walesa started his political career as an electrical technician here, going on to lead Solidarity and then to become President of a democratic Poland. Today the city of Gdansk is a major industrial city and shipping port.
