        Grafters

        Dodgy deals and even dodgier jokes in this hugely entertaining look at the life of street market traders grafting away in Barnsley and NW8.

        Documentary 1964 40 mins Silent Not rated

        Director: Charlie Squires

        Overview

        Mother-in-laws beware! The dubious joke is alive and kicking in this highly entertaining look at the tough life and colourful banter of 1960s market stall traders. Down in Marylebone's Church Street, housewives with bee-hive hair-dos hunt for bargains among the clothes sellers. Up in Barnsley, huntsman and china-ware merchant 'potty' Joe Edwards mesmerises the crowds with his plate-juggling act.
