Going to the Dogs
Monday 27 October 2008 11:00-11:30 (Radio 4 FM)
Documentary series telling original stories about real lives in Britain today.
Alan Dein reports on the closure of Walthamstow greyhound racing track and hears from some of the people whose livelihoods depend on the declining greyhound racing business. While bookmaker Joe Bennett is philosophical about the ups and downs of the business, trainer Paul Rich is more pessimistic, forced as he is to now race his dogs in Kent, a far cry from the glory of Walthamstow.
