Four Towns and a Circus

Synopsis: Look behind the scenes at the problems and difficulties of running Chipperfield’s Circus, the last of the animal circuses still touring Britain. Follows Tony Hopkins, the circus’s director, going about his day-to-day business. The programme highlights the similarities it shares with many other organisations, and the circus is used as a device for getting past assumptions about our own organisations.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
