1977: Open Door - Opening Doors

Open Door was a programme in which the BBC handed over air time to the public, running for ten years from 1973-1983.

In this episode, Chris Dunkley looks back over the past year or so with some of the people who had their own say in their own way.

What's it like to make an Open Door programme? Does it work? Is it worth it?

For instance, did those four boys from Belfast finally get their youth club? Have things got better or worse for the Save London's Theatres Campaign, for CND, for the Claimants' Union, for the self-employed or for the Cypriot Community in Camden Town?

This programme was originally broadcast on BBC Two, Monday 19 December, 1977.
