Duration: 2 hours, 30 minutes

The programme is at two picket lines, at the Mersey tunnel, and at Birmingham Women's hospital as public service workers walk out at the start of one of the biggest strikes the country has ever seen.

14 listeners, from business men and women, to pensioners, teachers, a jobseeker and an estate agent, join Tony in Livesey's Lounge to discuss the strikes.

Also on the programme, should you meddle in your kids love life? Reportedly Alex Loudon's parents weren't too taken with Pippa Middleton before their apparent split.

And Sooty's right-hand man Matthew Corbett speaks to Tony about his great uncle, Harry Ramsden, on the day it was announced the original chippy in Guiseley will close down.
