A BBC Christmas Pantomime of Robinson Crusoe starring Ken Dodd. Dodd had been performing this for several years when this was filmed for the special.

Taking its title from Harold Macmillan's widely-reported Cape Town speech about the process of decolonisation in Africa, The Wind of Change showed the other side of the coin: the impact of colonial immigration at 'home'. The film deals with the 'colour problem' within the context of Teddy boy violence.
