7:41Now Playing"I've been put on to a home-grown alternative which I'm told is almost as good as the real thing."
Nationwide's James Hogg treats himself to a skiing holiday, touring the finest fake plastic pistes that the North of England has to offer. His first stop is Kidsgrove, near Stoke-on-Trent, which is rumoured to have the third longest plastic ski-slope in Britain. Next, he visits Kirkby, near Liverpool - home to "the plastic ski slope of your dreams", before finally travelling to use the pioneering municipal plastic ski slope in the "English Alps," Oldham.
Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, 13 January, 1975.
