Tony Macaulay

Episode 3 of 5

Northern Ireland peace-builder Tony Macaulay retraces his Belfast paper round route of the 1970s. With Bob Kingdom. From September 2011.

A series in which five public figures revisit the route of their paper round to reveal how it influenced their attitudes to work, creativity and independence.

Having a paper round is a rite of passage for many children, and many successful public figures claim to have braved the early mornings and the elements to deliver newspapers. For some, it's a chance for independence and freedom, or a temporary escape from the horrors at home. For others, it provides the money to spend on music, treats and girl/boyfriends.

Northern Ireland peace builder and writer Tony Macaulay recalls his paper round on the Shankill Road in 1970s Belfast with actor Bob Kingdom.

Producer: Olivia Landsberg
A Ladbroke production for 大象传媒 Radio 4.
