The programme in which the BBC hands over air time to the public. Tonight:
The Easterhouse Festival Society
Easterhouse is a post-war housing development on the eastern edge of Glasgow. An estimated 60,000 people live there, but there are no cinemas, no theatres, no restaurants - not even a bingo hall.
The second five-month-long Easterhouse Summer Festival starts this month, and in tonight's programme local people show how their efforts are helping to change the image of this much-maligned community.
