Thanks host. This one's now on iPlayer:

The British at Work - 1. We Can Make It 1945-1964

Kirsty Young looks at British working lives since the Second World War. This programme combines the memories of ordinary working people with vivid archive from documentary, television and film to look at an era in which work was a great mass experience and work places were lively, welcoming communities.

Kirsty hears from women who were moving into a male dominated workforce and sees how the optimistic dreams of the post-war years were undermined by poor management and bickering workers.

Thanks for the heads up Host, just watched this on iplayer.

Really interesting programme, and a fascinating insight on how we used to work, when a job was a way of life, and not a chore....

Am I wrong in thinking Kirsty Young is quite fit aswell?

[host]

No she is quite fit, did anyone recognize any of the places that she visited(empty ones) and where was the power station?

It looked a bit like Battersea B
