Little Dome: May 1982 (The World's Fair, Expo '82 and The Pope visits the UK)

Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears look back at May 1982, when the Pope visited the UK and Tenessee hosted the Knoxville International Energy Exposition, better known as Expo '82 or the World's Fair. As such they cover everything from knife weilding nuns to touch screen TVs, from pay-at-pump petrol to milk in a box.
