This week: The Fair Game
Most of us see the fairground only once a year, think of fairground people as a cross between con-men and gypsies - out to take our money from us in the few hours they are in town. But what really goes on in the world of freak shows, hoop-la stalls and the giant machines? Who are the families who control the fairs and make a fortune from them? Who are the gaff lads with dyed hair, earrings and tattoos who follow the fair for the fun - and the girls?
Report by Trevor Philpott.
