   abstract = {World in Action was a current affairs series with a reputation for taking risks. Broadcast across the ITV network at 8pm on Monday nights, the series gained a reputation for unorthodox and campaigning journalism.  At its height, it drew audiences in Britain of up to 23 million. 

The standard format was as a voice-over documentary without a regular reporter, although a handful of WIA journalists did appear in front of camera. Perhaps its most celebrated guest presenter was the distinguished  American anchorman Walter Cronkite, who came out of retirement to cover the 1983 British General Election for the series.},
