The Road to Aldermaston

on BBC Radio 4 FM

There aren't any good brave causes left. If the big bang does come, it won't be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. It'll be for the Brave-New-Nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front Of a bus. (JOHN OSBORNE
Look Back in Anger)
On Good Friday 1958, several thousand people marched out of Trafalgar Square bound for Aldermaston to demonstrate their support for nuclear disarmament. That march set the pattern for those protest rituals which characterised the British Easter during the 1960s.
Ian Rodger looks back at the occasion, with the voices of PAT ARROWSMITH , JOAN BAKEWELL HUGH BROCK , JAMES CAMERON OLIVF GIBBS and CHRISTOPHER LOGUE
Producer ALASTAIR WILSON
