BBC - The Great British Story A Peoples History (2012) Part 8 Modern Britain

The Great British Story A People’s History

The Great British Story A People’s History is a documentary series presented by Michael Wood. He travels around the country as he explores the United Kingdom’s remarkable past, from the perspective of ordinary people. It’s wide-ranging, beautifully filmed and a bit sentimental, but also hugely informative and full of good humour. Nobody does this sort of thing better.
