Cooking up Spaghetti Junction

Here's another one of those BFI films: an ATV news report from 1968, which starts on a road tunnel between Great Charles Street and Suffolk Street in Birmingham city centre. It then goes on to explore the vast model and plans for Spaghetti Junction, the enormously complex road scheme at Gravelly Hill, connecting the M5, M6 and the ring road. Amazingly it was called Spaghetti Junction even before it was built... Reporter Bev Smith brings such low energy to the affair that these four minutes simply drag by.
