Doon The Watta - Episode 3

Nicholas Parsons takes a heartfelt look at the decline of shipbuilding on Clydeside. He meets former union activist and proud Glaswegian Jimmy Reid, who orchestrated the famous 'work-in' protest during the 70s. Nicholas also visits BAE Systems - the last post of shipbuilding and apprentice schemes on the Clyde. He also looks at the paradox of Clydeside - the loss of industry has caused the severe decline of employment for the local community, but it's a beacon of hope as the tough working conditions of shipbuilding are replaced by urban regeneration projects, further education colleges and tourism. Producer: Lyndon Saunders An All Out production for BBC Radio 4.
