8:14Now PlayingR.P.M. sends a camera crew to Broadmead - the main shopping district of Bristol - on a warm Saturday afternoon in April. There, they film buskers and break dancers, rastas and rat enthusiasts, goths and geriatrics, punks, pensioners, police officers and poseurs, skinheads, sales reps, shoppers and old soldiers, and everything in between.
Just a typical Saturday afternoon in Bristol, really.
Clip taken from Rectangular Picture Machine, originally broadcast on BBC West, 21 May, 1984.
