Truly bizarre old 1974 episode of Panorama on iplayer at the moment. I switched it on to see pointless army training sadism of which there was some before it turned into a series of training exercises for the then worry of the day - mass civil disobedience. Very soon everyone was sitting round tables discussing the Unions bringing down capitalism. Later everyone is in regimental dinner dress discussing earnestly what might be wrong with a military dictatorship (in practice rather than principle). Sandhurst's boss meanwhile was filmed taking about how there's no conflict between the "profession of arms" and Christian teaching. Well, if you disregard the beatitudes. Somewhere amongst the cadets was a long ago disposed of and disgraced future Tory MP looking baby faced. And there was a brief appearance by the seldom seen Princess Alice. It all ended up in a war game where a supposed loony left leader and a supposed neo fascist MP set supposed villagers against each other... Still it's not like there was a real plot by the military to destabilise Harold Wilson...
