BBC Two - The London Markets, The Meat Market: Inside Smithfield

What does the future hold for the closed 'man's world' of the night-time meat market?

What does the future hold for the men of the night-time meat market at Smithfield? The modern world of political correctness and customer service is proving a challenge for some.
