We meet the man who recognised himself on Tyne Tees Television film archive | ITV News

Almost 50 years ago, Tyne Tees Television made a documentary about hawkers, or as they are more commonly known, rag and bone men.

The programme was stored away until it was discovered buried in an archive on Teesside earlier this year. Now that it has been unearthed, one of the men featured recognised himself and his now late father.
