The Grunwick Dispute and me – ‘Today’, BBC Radio 4, 28th December 2007

Posted by Jack on December 28, 2007

I’m pleased to have made the final edit of Sanchia Berg’s report on the Grunwick Dispute for today’s Today programme, which considered some of the impending new releases from The National Archive under the Thirty Year Rule.

To hear her report, follow this updated link to the Today website, then click on the 0630-0700 segment and open the .ram file with RealPlayer (default). If you then fast-forward to around the 17 minute mark you will hear the Guest Editor of this edition, Professor Peter Hennessy, summarizing some of the key political issues of 1977 contained in the about-to-be-declassified files. Peter and Ed Stourton then provide a seamless segue into the Grunwick piece.

PS – I have updated the links.  But the report won’t be online forever, so do check it out soon if this subject is of interest.
