Sixth of eight programmes following author and playwright Beryl Bainbridge as she travels round England. Today she explores the north east, following in the footsteps of J B Priestley who made the trip more than 50 years ago.
She visits a shop in Gateshead which is a remarkable contrast with those in Newcastle's modern Eldon Square , rides the Metro to the seaside where she meets some pub entertainers, calls at Swan
Hunter's shipyard and takes a look at the people and history of Jarrow.
