Journey deep into the history of gangs and learn how they are stitched into cities past and present. Gangs are as old as time. Follow Ali as he journeys into the rabbit hole of history in the Scottish city of Dundee, pulling the thread of a mysterious story of gang jumpers knitted by grannies in the 1970s, and following it all the way back to William Wallace in the 13th century. He meets Frances Stevenson and John Fyfe, two of the pairs of hands behind the epic Dundee Tapestry, where the story of gang jumpers is stitched in alongside factories and whaling. And he asks the punk poet, proud Dundonian and erstwhile binman Gary Robertson if we need labels like gangs.
