Andrew Marr's The Making of Modern Britain

This is not a dusty old fashioned history programme.

I did not intend to watch last night's program on Ch.4 but was drawn into it.

THE MAKING OF MODERN Britain tells the story of a tumultuous period in British history from the end of the Victorian period to the conclusion of World War II. Marr contends that the country witnessed an important sea-change in its basic structure; whereas once it was a fundamentally stratified society with everyone knowing their place and being (ostensibly) happy with it, by 1945 it had become far more democratic.
