Dead Centre
Britain is not just a nation of shopkeepers but a nation of shoppers. Yet many of us no longer have the choice of shopping in a town centre. The growth in out-of-town superstores, warehouse clubs and discounters has meant that town centres are dying. In this film, Gloucester shopkeeper Roger Ellinor looks at the importance of the traditional high street, and compares Britain with France, where the traditions of the high street are kept alive. Director Jackie Osei-Tutu
Series producer Sue Davidson

Loudon Wainwright III , the specialist in wry, humorous vignettes accompanied on the acoustic guitar, launches a new series recorded at Glasgow's Old
Fruitmarket with guests Daryl Hall and Des'ree.
Hall, once a session keyboard player for such Philadelphia soul groups as the Stylistics and the Delfonics, found fame in a blue-eyed soul partnership with John Oates. He's now performing solo, most recently on the suitably-named album Soul Alone.
Des'ree, London-born of West Indian parents, had her first big hit in 1992 with Feel So High, one of the numbers she performs tonight. Director Maureen White
Producer May Miller
