Northern Eye: The Red Spot Babies

Series 1, episode 8

Since 1947, doctors have tracked the health of more than a thousand Tyneside children born during the tough years of post-war rationing and hardship. It was one of the biggest medical programmes of its kind, and this edition looks at how it has led to lives being saved and social conditions improved, as well as at what lies ahead for the survivors of the initiative.
