The programme about current moral dilemmas investigates another issue affecting the private and public life of Britain. Roaming Free?
Nomads have lived in Britain for centuries - gypsies, tinkers and other travelling people. In the last decade, their numbers have been swelled by a generation of so-called New Age Travellers. Now, government proposals threaten to eliminate this way of life. Joan Bakewell talks to landowners and residents who welcome this move, and to those who believe we should tolerate and even support their itinerant lifestyle.
