Summary

Does the public support the strikes? We speak to two Broadcasters who chat to the general public for a living. 5 Live Breakfast’s Nicky Campbell and presenter of Radio 4’s Any Questions, Alex Forsyth, are on to help us try to figure out what the mood of the country is. Marina Glasgow, the chief conciliator at the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service - also known as ACAS - explains her role in finding a resolution to the disputes. And actor and director Mark Gatiss talks about his famous Christmas ghost story, class, and why he’s supporting the strikers. Today’s episode was presented by Adam Fleming and made by Chris Flynn with Rufus Gray and Cordelia Hemming. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The assistant editor is Sam Bonham.
