Britannia Rules – a super half hour film about the Big Class and the J Class eras

Britannia Rules – a cracking little programme now available from Channel Four’s on-demand 4OD gizmo
Don’t miss out on this – if you haven’t already done so, find half an hour in your programme to sit down and watch this cracking little half-hour documentary about Britannia, the Big Class and finally the J Class.
If you’re outside the UK, I fear you may not be able to see it, but it really is a super half hour of telly even if it is on a computer screen. There are several programmes here that seem to be worth watching, and I’ll report further at some point.
