A documentary film series about life in some of Britain's cities as seen by a few of the people who live in them.
"Terrible about Ray Clemence, the Liverpool goalie. Given up football altogether... Signed for Everton."
"This docker is walking out of the main gates an' he's got an alarm clock up his jumper. The dock copper stops him. "What you got there?" "Nuttin'". The alarm clock rings and the copper goes into the dock office to answer the phone."
In Liverpool there's a funny side to everything and it's marked 'This Side Up'. The comedy is tough, rebellious, spontaneous. It's not only with the comics in the clubs, it's all over the city. Brian Jaques, ex-docker, current wit, shows his city - lot of laughs.
Alan Bleasdale, born and bred here too, tells the tale. "Amongst the laughter we're dying, but we think we're doing it in style."

In 1976 the United States were celebrating 200 years of independence. Among the millions of visitors crowding into Philadelphia - the 'Birthplace of the Nation' - were 2,500 members of the American Legion attending their annual convention. After a busy programme of convivial meetings these happy veterans went home-unaware that within a few days many of them would be dead, and many more fighting for their lives. The 'Legionnaires' Disease' led to one of the biggest - and most baffling - investigations in medical history. And just when the American investigators thought they had the whole case solved, startling new evidence turned up in a British hospital...
