A Diary of Britain: 1: Fish and Ships

on BBC Two England

Fifteen documentary films about life in Britain made week-by-week from September to Christmas last year.
Cullercoats and North Shields are two communities which live cheek by jowl on the North East coast of England. They're communities dominated by the changing moods of the North Sea.
In the week which followed the postponement of the General Election; the screening of Holocaust; and Muhammad Ali regaining the Heavyweight Championship of the World, we see the way in which these national and international issues interact with the struggle to win a decent livelihood from the sea.
