A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their lives.
Reporters, Christopher Brasher, Angela Huth, Jeremy James, John Percival, Trevor Philpott, Desmond Wilcox

This week: Rag-Bone
The wily Steptoe and his son have made national characters of the Cockney totters. Every morning hundreds of real-life Steptoes set out in their carts to drag the city streets for treasure - and for bread. What manner of men are they - businessmen, or beggars, rich men, poor men, or thieves? What do their families think of them? What are the tricks of the trade?
Report by Trevor Philpott.
