1
00:00:02,010 --> 00:00:05,170
This programme contains some
strong language.
2
00:00:05,170 --> 00:00:08,610
Today, Britain stands
at a fork in its crossroads.
3
00:00:08,610 --> 00:00:11,370
And its people are asking
questions.
4
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:14,410
Now we've got our country back -
what actually is it?
5
00:00:14,410 --> 00:00:17,370
Who are we? And why?
6
00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:20,130
The best way to find out
where Britain's heading
7
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:23,970
is to look behind us into something
called history -
8
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:26,490
a sort of rear view mirror
for time.
9
00:00:26,490 --> 00:00:28,330
So that's where I'm going.
10
00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:30,130
Back there.
11
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:34,450
It's a journey that'll take me
the length and width of the country.
12
00:00:34,450 --> 00:00:39,210
On my odyssey, I'll be starting
sentences in one location,
13
00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:42,250
and finishing them in another.
14
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:45,330
And looking at some of the biggest
faces in British history,
15
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:48,050
and asking other people's
faces about them.
16
00:00:48,050 --> 00:00:53,050
What was the difference between
punk rock and just being angry
17
00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:55,330
but without a guitar?
18
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:59,330
All of it taking place in this
skepterred isle we call home.
19
00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:01,810
So join me, Philomena Cunk,
20
00:01:01,810 --> 00:01:03,530
as I take you right up the history
21
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:05,650
of the United Britain
of Great Kingdom.
22
00:01:05,650 --> 00:01:08,570
This...is Cunk On Britain.
23
00:01:22,330 --> 00:01:23,810
Throughout this series
24
00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:27,130
I've been on a journey
up through Britain's history.
25
00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:29,210
Now I'm almost at the end
of that road,
26
00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:33,170
at the point where olden times end
and now times begin.
27
00:01:33,170 --> 00:01:37,410
A time when the archive footage
goes colour at long fucking last,
28
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:40,090
and some things you might have
actually heard of happened.
29
00:01:40,090 --> 00:01:43,650
It's the story of how Britain
went from the 1960s
30
00:01:43,650 --> 00:01:46,170
to this very moment now.
31
00:01:46,170 --> 00:01:47,570
And this moment.
32
00:01:47,570 --> 00:01:48,890
And this one.
33
00:01:48,890 --> 00:01:50,410
And also this.
34
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:54,090
And found itself here and now,
at the arse end of history.
35
00:01:55,410 --> 00:01:58,650
Britain had been uptight ever since
Victorian times,
36
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:01,730
and having two world wars on top of
that had really knocked the fun
37
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:03,250
out of everyone.
38
00:02:03,250 --> 00:02:06,010
Men had to wear bowler hats
issued by the government,
39
00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:09,730
and their only form of entertainment
was reading boring newspapers.
40
00:02:09,730 --> 00:02:12,170
They weren't even allowed
to get erections
41
00:02:12,170 --> 00:02:14,770
and had to make do with
a stiff upper lip instead.
42
00:02:14,770 --> 00:02:17,490
Meanwhile, women had to stay at home
washing clothes,
43
00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:19,570
raising hundreds of children
by hand,
44
00:02:19,570 --> 00:02:22,730
and agreeing with their husbands.
The only form of personal expression
45
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:25,330
they were allowed was wearing
pointy glasses.
46
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:28,970
But all that was about to change
thanks to four boys from Liverpool -
47
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:31,170
George, Ringo and their guitarists.
48
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:34,450
A pop band called The Beatles.
49
00:02:34,450 --> 00:02:37,650
Some brave volunteers among the
British police elect to act
50
00:02:37,650 --> 00:02:39,850
with heroism above and beyond
the call of duty
51
00:02:39,850 --> 00:02:43,010
and escort The Beatles
to their car...
52
00:02:43,010 --> 00:02:46,170
These Beatles didn't have six legs.
They had eight legs. Like a spider.
53
00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:49,490
Everywhere they went, girls
screamed. Like with a spider.
54
00:02:49,490 --> 00:02:52,610
But unlike spiders, The Beatles
never crawled into anyone's mouth
55
00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:54,050
when they were asleep.
56
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:57,250
Instead they sang, which scientists
claim spiders don't.
57
00:02:57,250 --> 00:02:59,810
The Beatles started from humble
beginnings.
58
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:02,690
In the early days they couldn't
afford individual haircuts,
59
00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:05,570
and had to copy and paste the same
one onto each of their heads.
60
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:08,210
And they had to share
a microphone to save money.
61
00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:10,610
But their catchy jingles
were so infectious
62
00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:13,450
they soon lead to an epidemic called
Beatlemania.
63
00:03:13,450 --> 00:03:15,890
And The Beatles wanted to
hold your hand,
64
00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:18,730
which only made the disease
spread faster.
65
00:03:18,730 --> 00:03:20,850
Soon it spread across the Atlantic
to America,
66
00:03:20,850 --> 00:03:22,570
a country which was still there.
67
00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:25,250
There are rumours around
that this is Britain's revenge
68
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:27,890
for the Boston Tea Party.
69
00:03:27,890 --> 00:03:30,690
While The Beatles were in the USA
they started to become influenced
70
00:03:30,690 --> 00:03:33,610
by the hippies - which were
sort of American Wombles.
71
00:03:33,610 --> 00:03:37,010
They experimented with a drug called
LUZZD which made the user
72
00:03:37,010 --> 00:03:39,290
see and hear things that weren't
really happening -
73
00:03:39,290 --> 00:03:40,690
a bit like Netflix.
74
00:03:40,690 --> 00:03:42,570
Their music turned psychopathic.
75
00:03:42,570 --> 00:03:45,010
Rather than churning out more
simple love songs,
76
00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:46,850
thanks to psychopathic drugs,
77
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:50,570
The Beatles began to sing about
deeper, more meaningful things.
78
00:03:50,570 --> 00:03:54,610
# We all live in a yellow submarine
79
00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:58,770
# Yellow submarine,
yellow submarine.... #
80
00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:04,090
The Beatles created some incredible
music whilst they were on drugs.
81
00:04:04,090 --> 00:04:06,610
Did they not have dope
testing back then?
82
00:04:06,610 --> 00:04:09,370
How come they weren't
disqualified from the charts?
83
00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:13,770
Well, erm, as a matter of fact
there were songs they did
84
00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:17,890
that the BBC, who in those days
were most of the radio stations,
85
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:20,810
thought were references
to drug taking
86
00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:23,010
so they did ban them
from the charts.
87
00:04:23,010 --> 00:04:27,650
It's weird that The Beatles
LSD songs are so happy, isn't it,
88
00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:31,130
because LSD isn't always
a happy experience.
89
00:04:31,130 --> 00:04:36,410
Like, my mate Paul met this Italian
couple whilst he was backpacking
90
00:04:36,410 --> 00:04:40,810
and they invited him back
to their room for a threesome.
91
00:04:40,810 --> 00:04:44,530
And they gave him some LSD and
when they got there the bloke one
92
00:04:44,530 --> 00:04:47,690
pulled a screwdriver on him
and made him shit in his own shoe
93
00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:51,530
and eat it,
whilst the woman one filmed it.
94
00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:53,090
And that's a side of drug use
95
00:04:53,090 --> 00:04:55,450
that Paul McCartney doesn't
sing about, isn't it?
96
00:04:55,450 --> 00:04:57,890
No, I think, luckily, that...
97
00:04:57,890 --> 00:05:01,930
That kind of experience
never came his way. Hmm.
98
00:05:01,930 --> 00:05:05,090
During one LUZZD expedition,
or "trip",
99
00:05:05,090 --> 00:05:09,210
The Beatles became the first Britons
to discover the existence of colour.
100
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:12,850
And like Sir Walter Raleigh and his
potatoes, they took their discovery
101
00:05:12,850 --> 00:05:17,650
home to the UK, where it caught
on like hot cakes of wildfire.
102
00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:21,090
Britain went overnight
from grey to groovy.
103
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:24,810
Suddenly it was cool
to ignore society
104
00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:26,810
and just be
whoever you wanted to be,
105
00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:29,530
as long as you had fashionable hair
and flamboyant clothing
106
00:05:29,530 --> 00:05:31,490
like everybody else.
107
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:33,490
A pearl mink miniskirt.
108
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:37,690
Must be tailor-made for the freeze.
109
00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:44,970
Were miniskirts actually shorter
or did they just appear that way
110
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:47,810
cos people's legs
were getting longer?
111
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:51,490
They were actually
quite a lot shorter.
112
00:05:51,490 --> 00:05:55,010
And they got shorter
as the '60s went on.
113
00:05:55,010 --> 00:05:57,090
Was there a miniskirt for men?
114
00:05:57,090 --> 00:06:00,450
You know like trousers that just
stopped under the balls?
115
00:06:00,450 --> 00:06:03,850
No, there wasn't. There wasn't
a miniskirt for...for men.
116
00:06:03,850 --> 00:06:06,850
That seems like a shame.
For whom? For men.
117
00:06:06,850 --> 00:06:09,570
So they didn't feel left out,
you know.
118
00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:13,970
And it must be nice to have that
sort of...air circulating.
119
00:06:13,970 --> 00:06:16,090
But it wasn't just clothes
that were changing.
120
00:06:16,090 --> 00:06:19,970
The sexual revolution was coming,
and the country was lapping it up.
121
00:06:19,970 --> 00:06:24,450
Much of the change was due to this -
the pill - a condom you could eat.
122
00:06:24,450 --> 00:06:27,930
A sort of "Get Out of Child Free"
card, that meant at last
123
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:30,650
women could have sex for fun,
with any man of their choosing,
124
00:06:30,650 --> 00:06:32,290
for two or three minutes,
125
00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:35,610
until he spaffed off, rolled over
and went to sleep.
126
00:06:35,610 --> 00:06:38,810
Some women were having so much sex
they decided to burn their bras
127
00:06:38,810 --> 00:06:42,050
cos it was quicker than putting them
on and taking them off all the time.
128
00:06:42,050 --> 00:06:43,610
Free love was all the rage.
129
00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:46,330
Thanks to the pill,
sex was turned on its head.
130
00:06:46,330 --> 00:06:47,530
And its back.
131
00:06:47,530 --> 00:06:48,890
And over the table.
132
00:06:48,890 --> 00:06:50,650
People let it all hang out,
133
00:06:50,650 --> 00:06:53,410
like your dad doing the gardening
in loose shorts.
134
00:06:53,410 --> 00:06:55,970
And the law was catching up
with the times.
135
00:06:55,970 --> 00:06:58,330
For years, homosexuality was illegal
136
00:06:58,330 --> 00:07:01,650
and gay men were sent to prison
where, as punishment, they'd have to
137
00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:05,050
share a tiny room with a man,
for years.
138
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:08,090
But in the '60s, same-sex sex
was decriminalized.
139
00:07:08,090 --> 00:07:10,410
It was a time of liberation.
140
00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:13,330
Soon everyone in Britain
was swinging.
141
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:16,810
Except convicted murderers, because
hanging had just been abolished.
142
00:07:16,810 --> 00:07:20,210
For the first time ever, Britain
was cool, not just the weather.
143
00:07:20,210 --> 00:07:23,250
Britain even decided
to be cool at sport.
144
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:24,930
England, the posh bit of Britain,
145
00:07:24,930 --> 00:07:28,210
brought back memories of the war
by beating the Germans again.
146
00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:32,370
This time they bounced a ball into a
net, rather than a bomb into a dam,
147
00:07:32,370 --> 00:07:35,330
killing far fewer civilians and
coining the infamous phrase
148
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:38,330
"They think it's all over,
presented by Nick Hancock."
149
00:07:38,330 --> 00:07:40,810
Things were really looking up.
150
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:44,330
But the fun, like a Toblerone,
couldn't last forever,
151
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:47,930
and almost as quickly as the '60s
had arrived, they were over,
152
00:07:47,930 --> 00:07:52,330
give or take ten years. And now
it was the 1970s turn to happen.
153
00:07:53,770 --> 00:07:55,970
The 1970s was a time of great change
154
00:07:55,970 --> 00:07:58,250
and the first change
was the economy.
155
00:07:58,250 --> 00:08:01,650
Britain had a new Prime Minister,
Edward Heath.
156
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:04,490
With his love of yachts,
classical music and church organs,
157
00:08:04,490 --> 00:08:07,090
Edward Heath seemed to be
a real man of the people.
158
00:08:07,090 --> 00:08:10,490
But Heath soon found himself
facing a financial crisis,
159
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:14,650
the likes of which the world only
sees about every ten years or so.
160
00:08:14,650 --> 00:08:17,290
Thanks to inflation,
prices were getting bigger,
161
00:08:17,290 --> 00:08:18,970
while wages were getting smaller.
162
00:08:18,970 --> 00:08:20,770
The country was in chaos.
163
00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:23,370
Britain was said to have
"the British disease".
164
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:25,330
And there was no known cure.
165
00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:27,450
Apart from not to be Britain
any more.
166
00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:31,570
Which is why Ted Heath insisted
we should became part of Europe.
167
00:08:31,570 --> 00:08:34,330
Soon Britain entered
the European Common Market,
168
00:08:34,330 --> 00:08:37,530
in what should have been
called Brentrance, but wasn't.
169
00:08:37,530 --> 00:08:40,850
It was so perfect
we held a referendum to check
170
00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:42,810
whether Britain should
stay in Europe...
171
00:08:42,810 --> 00:08:46,530
Yes is now at 67%
and the no vote at 33%.
172
00:08:46,530 --> 00:08:49,170
..and it turned out everybody
was happy with the idea,
173
00:08:49,170 --> 00:08:52,850
as a majority secretly are today
but daren't mention.
174
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:55,130
But things were still rubbish.
175
00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:58,730
There was rising unemployment,
widespread industrial action
176
00:08:58,730 --> 00:09:01,810
and an energy crisis,
which meant for the first time
177
00:09:01,810 --> 00:09:05,250
people had to justify how much
electricity they were using.
178
00:09:05,250 --> 00:09:08,890
But elsewhere on the estate,
one bar of an electric fire
179
00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:11,810
was heating a defiant
old-age pensioner.
180
00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:16,210
If we don't need two bars on,
well, we don't have two bars on.
181
00:09:16,210 --> 00:09:19,450
If we need two bars on
we put two bars on!
182
00:09:19,450 --> 00:09:22,930
It's like... It's not...
It's logic. It's human nature.
183
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:25,650
So if the weather suddenly turns
very cold again you're probably
184
00:09:25,650 --> 00:09:27,690
going to have to put the other bar
on, are you?
185
00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:31,810
I'll put the other bar on and a
reflector. I'll have the lot on.
186
00:09:31,810 --> 00:09:34,170
Soon power cuts became all the rage.
187
00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:37,210
Because the lights kept going
out at a moment's notice,
188
00:09:37,210 --> 00:09:40,690
plunging everyone into darkness,
there was no point dressing nicely.
189
00:09:40,690 --> 00:09:44,250
And as a result the world of fashion
decided to simply give up.
190
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:47,130
Every item of clothing
in the world went off overnight.
191
00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:50,170
And the sickness spread to haircuts,
which caught Dutch elm disease
192
00:09:50,170 --> 00:09:52,090
and became horribly disfigured.
193
00:09:52,090 --> 00:09:54,890
Even the air and the sky started to
look dingy and awful,
194
00:09:54,890 --> 00:09:57,290
and like it was all filmed
underwater.
195
00:09:57,290 --> 00:10:00,810
To cap it all, in Northern Ireland,
a civil war was breaking out,
196
00:10:00,810 --> 00:10:03,330
but so as not to scare anyone,
they didn't call it a civil war,
197
00:10:03,330 --> 00:10:06,330
they just called it The Troubles,
like it was a tummy bug
or something.
198
00:10:06,330 --> 00:10:10,410
People were angry and all that
pent-up fury had to go somewhere.
199
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:14,570
Conditions were ripe for a musical
explosion known as punk.
200
00:10:14,570 --> 00:10:17,730
# Remember you're a Womble
Remember you're a Womble
201
00:10:17,730 --> 00:10:21,170
# Remember you're a Womble
Remember you're a Womble
202
00:10:21,170 --> 00:10:24,050
# Remember you're a Womble
Remember you're a Womble
203
00:10:24,050 --> 00:10:28,010
# Remember you're a Womble
Remember you're a Womble
204
00:10:28,010 --> 00:10:33,370
# Remember member member what
a Womble Womble Womble you are... #
205
00:10:33,370 --> 00:10:35,650
As you can see from this
searing performance,
206
00:10:35,650 --> 00:10:38,930
the punks were antisocial,
cynical, and dangerous.
207
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:44,010
And no punk band was bigger or more
shockinger than the Sex Pistons.
208
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:47,250
# I am an antichrist
209
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:50,290
# And I am an anarchist... #
210
00:10:50,290 --> 00:10:53,650
They had shocking names
like Johnny Bottom and Sid Knickers,
211
00:10:53,650 --> 00:10:56,170
they wore shocking
home-made clothes,
212
00:10:56,170 --> 00:10:58,090
and put hankies on their heads,
213
00:10:58,090 --> 00:11:01,930
hence their famous call to arms -
Handkerchiefs in the UK.
214
00:11:01,930 --> 00:11:05,490
But the most shocking thing
they did was swearing on TV,
215
00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:09,730
an incident so outrageous that in
the time since it first happened,
216
00:11:09,730 --> 00:11:12,890
it's only ever been seen again
three, or maybe four hundred times,
217
00:11:12,890 --> 00:11:14,730
in music documentaries.
218
00:11:14,730 --> 00:11:18,370
It's what? Nothing. A rude word.
Next question.
219
00:11:18,370 --> 00:11:20,650
No, no, what was the rude word?
220
00:11:20,650 --> 00:11:21,810
Shit.
221
00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:23,650
Was it really? Good heavens!
222
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:28,330
The Sex Pistols were fired,
weren't they, as TV presenters?
223
00:11:28,330 --> 00:11:30,250
What was all that about?
224
00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:33,810
Well, I think the thing about the
Sex Pistols were that they were...
225
00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:36,130
They had a lot of impact cos
they got a lot of, you know,
226
00:11:36,130 --> 00:11:39,370
shock value and sensation
in the papers and on telly.
227
00:11:39,370 --> 00:11:41,610
And they help really launch
the movement of punk
228
00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:44,050
because everybody knew about what
they were up to.
229
00:11:44,050 --> 00:11:46,850
But I don't understand why
they got fired on the telly?
230
00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:50,490
Well, they swore.
Oh, right, yeah. OK.
231
00:11:50,490 --> 00:11:53,050
That was quite shocking back then,
wasn't it? Back then it was.
232
00:11:53,050 --> 00:11:54,690
Not now though, really. No.
233
00:11:54,690 --> 00:11:57,730
Now you'd have to do something much
bigger, wouldn't you? Yeah.
234
00:11:57,730 --> 00:12:00,850
You'd have to like do a poo on
The One Show or something. Yes.
235
00:12:00,850 --> 00:12:03,770
Even then, you know,
you might not get fired.
236
00:12:03,770 --> 00:12:09,170
What if you then sort of hoike your
trousers up without even wiping?
237
00:12:09,170 --> 00:12:12,970
But punk wasn't the only sign
the country had gone to the dogs.
238
00:12:12,970 --> 00:12:16,050
In 1978, literally everyone
went on strike in
239
00:12:16,050 --> 00:12:17,970
the Winter Of Discomfort.
240
00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:22,570
Even punks went on strike, refusing
to put on their punk uniforms
241
00:12:22,570 --> 00:12:25,330
and instead dressing
like normal people.
242
00:12:25,330 --> 00:12:28,930
Something had to be done,
so it was decided to start the 1980s
243
00:12:28,930 --> 00:12:33,930
a year early, with the election
of a new Prime Minister in 1979 -
244
00:12:33,930 --> 00:12:35,330
Margaret Thatcher.
245
00:12:35,330 --> 00:12:37,810
Street name: Mrs.
246
00:12:37,810 --> 00:12:42,970
Her Majesty the Queen has asked me
to form a new administration.
247
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:45,050
Thatcher's election was a watershed.
248
00:12:45,050 --> 00:12:48,050
It proved that absolutely anyone
could become Prime Minister,
249
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:51,250
provided they went to Oxford
and married a millionaire.
250
00:12:51,250 --> 00:12:54,970
As well as a uterus,
Mrs Thatcher had a vision.
251
00:12:54,970 --> 00:12:56,490
An economic vision.
252
00:12:56,490 --> 00:12:58,210
With all coins up it.
253
00:12:58,210 --> 00:13:00,170
She believed in laissez faire
economics -
254
00:13:00,170 --> 00:13:01,890
which is French for something,
255
00:13:01,890 --> 00:13:04,850
and then English again for
the "economics" bit.
256
00:13:04,850 --> 00:13:09,730
OK, let's pretend it's the 1980s
and I'm Margaret Thatcher.
257
00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:11,690
This is a political interview.
258
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:13,050
What would you ask me?
259
00:13:13,050 --> 00:13:17,490
I think I would start by asking,
260
00:13:17,490 --> 00:13:22,210
if this was, erm, the early part
261
00:13:22,210 --> 00:13:24,010
of her period in office,
262
00:13:24,010 --> 00:13:28,650
erm, why she was setting
interest rates so high,
263
00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:32,450
why she was allowing
the exchange rate to go so high
264
00:13:32,450 --> 00:13:38,730
in a way that was really damaging
British industry and, er,
265
00:13:38,730 --> 00:13:42,890
causing a huge rise in unemployment,
266
00:13:42,890 --> 00:13:48,850
and didn't she think that she was
causing huge, unnecessary suffering?
267
00:13:48,850 --> 00:13:53,410
You're not expecting me
to answer that, seriously.
268
00:13:53,410 --> 00:13:55,970
Mrs Thatcher had saved the nation
from chaos
269
00:13:55,970 --> 00:13:58,250
with her tough economic policies,
270
00:13:58,250 --> 00:14:02,730
and a grateful nation erupted
into lively street parties.
271
00:14:02,730 --> 00:14:05,730
The sense of jubilation continued
during the royal wedding
272
00:14:05,730 --> 00:14:07,130
of the century.
273
00:14:07,130 --> 00:14:09,050
It was a dream come true,
274
00:14:09,050 --> 00:14:11,890
as the then future and still future
King of England,
275
00:14:11,890 --> 00:14:13,490
the Prince of Charles,
276
00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:15,690
married one of the three people
in his marriage,
277
00:14:15,690 --> 00:14:19,210
the future Queen of Hearts,
Lady Diana Frank Spencer,
278
00:14:19,210 --> 00:14:22,370
in a wedding just like something
from a fairy tale,
279
00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:26,330
except without a wolf or dwarves
or a beanstalk, or a happy ending.
280
00:14:26,330 --> 00:14:30,050
But while people waved
flags like idiots at home,
281
00:14:30,050 --> 00:14:33,810
trouble was brewing overseas, at a
faraway corner of foreign Britain
282
00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:36,490
known as the
Isle of Falklands Island.
283
00:14:36,490 --> 00:14:40,170
This island was
invaded by Argentinas,
284
00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:42,930
who'd mistaken it for an identical
island they'd left lying around
285
00:14:42,930 --> 00:14:45,930
in exactly the same place
a few centuries ago.
286
00:14:45,930 --> 00:14:49,690
Mrs Thatcher immediately fought
back by bravely ordering troops
287
00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:51,850
to fight and die on her behalf.
288
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:53,490
And soon that famous flag,
289
00:14:53,490 --> 00:14:58,810
the Onion Jack, was flying over the
Isle of Falklands Island once again.
290
00:14:58,810 --> 00:15:02,690
Beating the Argentines at war
sealed Mrs Thatcher's reputation
291
00:15:02,690 --> 00:15:06,730
as a tough guy so much that people
started to call her the Iron Lady.
292
00:15:06,730 --> 00:15:09,770
And she soon got another chance
to prove just how hard she was,
293
00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:12,930
not in a major war
but a minor strike.
294
00:15:12,930 --> 00:15:16,490
During Mrs Thatcher's reign there
was the Minor's Strike,
295
00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:17,730
wasn't there? Yeah, yeah.
296
00:15:17,730 --> 00:15:20,210
Why was it considered minor?
297
00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:22,610
It wasn't considered minor.
298
00:15:22,610 --> 00:15:25,450
It was a strike by miners.
299
00:15:25,450 --> 00:15:28,970
People who go, you know,
underground and dig out coal.
300
00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:30,970
Right. What's a mine?
301
00:15:30,970 --> 00:15:34,130
So a mine is the
underground construction
302
00:15:34,130 --> 00:15:36,050
where you dig out the coal.
303
00:15:36,050 --> 00:15:38,410
Right. What's coal?
304
00:15:38,410 --> 00:15:43,650
So, coal is this black, er,
rock that you burn.
305
00:15:43,650 --> 00:15:45,090
Right.
306
00:15:45,090 --> 00:15:47,770
And that's grown underground?
And that's underground.
307
00:15:47,770 --> 00:15:51,130
So the min-ers go in the mine...
They do.
308
00:15:51,130 --> 00:15:53,170
..and they get the coal.
And they get the coal.
309
00:15:53,170 --> 00:15:55,490
And then they went on strike.
Yeah.
310
00:15:55,490 --> 00:15:58,690
The miners' struck their strike
in 1984, led by their leader,
311
00:15:58,690 --> 00:16:00,330
Arthur Scarface.
312
00:16:00,330 --> 00:16:02,450
If we've got to suffer,
313
00:16:02,450 --> 00:16:05,330
through November and December
we'll beat this...
314
00:16:05,330 --> 00:16:07,810
CHEERING
315
00:16:07,810 --> 00:16:12,690
Thatcher refused to back down
and soon the two sides were at war.
316
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:13,770
A class war.
317
00:16:13,770 --> 00:16:17,210
The rich police on their horses
in their smart uniforms,
318
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:20,090
and the poor dirty miners
fighting with bits of coal.
319
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:22,930
It was like something
out of the Russian Revolution.
320
00:16:22,930 --> 00:16:24,570
Except it was happening here.
321
00:16:24,570 --> 00:16:25,730
In Britain.
322
00:16:25,730 --> 00:16:27,090
Somewhere near you.
323
00:16:27,090 --> 00:16:28,850
If you lived near a mine.
324
00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:30,330
The miners' strike,
325
00:16:30,330 --> 00:16:33,170
perhaps the most bitter dispute
Britain had seen in years,
326
00:16:33,170 --> 00:16:36,890
tore generations apart,
before ending in 1985 -
327
00:16:36,890 --> 00:16:40,210
one whole year before
the terrestrial broadcast premiere
328
00:16:40,210 --> 00:16:43,010
of the BBC sitcom Brush Strokes.
329
00:16:51,970 --> 00:16:56,450
# Because of you
330
00:16:56,450 --> 00:16:58,930
# These things I do
331
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:04,530
# Because of you
332
00:17:04,530 --> 00:17:08,090
# Because of you
333
00:17:08,090 --> 00:17:10,930
# Oh, oh... #
334
00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:15,770
With the miners crushed,
like miners in a bad mine,
335
00:17:15,770 --> 00:17:18,690
Thatcher was free to pursue
her economic dreams
336
00:17:18,690 --> 00:17:21,850
by privatizing some of Britain's
biggest assets.
337
00:17:21,850 --> 00:17:25,010
Thanks to the big sell off,
anyone could get rich,
338
00:17:25,010 --> 00:17:27,850
providing they had loads of spare
money already -
339
00:17:27,850 --> 00:17:30,370
a system still in use to this day.
340
00:17:30,370 --> 00:17:32,610
Suddenly having money was cool
341
00:17:32,610 --> 00:17:37,290
and no-one had more money than the
yuppies, or Young Urban Twats.
342
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:42,090
To be a 1980s yuppie, did you have
to qualify as a wanker first
343
00:17:42,090 --> 00:17:43,850
and then just work your way up?
344
00:17:43,850 --> 00:17:47,930
Eh...I think some people identified
as yuppies but it was also,
345
00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:52,410
I think, used as an insult
in the 1980s.
346
00:17:52,410 --> 00:17:58,650
I've seen footage of yuppies holding
Filofaxes and mobile phones.
347
00:17:58,650 --> 00:18:04,450
Er, are they still in that footage
or where are they now?
348
00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:07,170
Er, where are they now?
349
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:11,290
Well, they're sort of 30 years
older now so...
350
00:18:11,290 --> 00:18:13,490
So they're not in that
footage any more?
351
00:18:13,490 --> 00:18:16,370
Well, that footage is historical
so...
352
00:18:16,370 --> 00:18:20,810
So if you look back at that footage
it'll just be empty? No...
353
00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:22,850
Cos that person has now left.
354
00:18:22,850 --> 00:18:26,410
No, the footage is...is....is
a recording of what happened
355
00:18:26,410 --> 00:18:27,890
in the past.
356
00:18:27,890 --> 00:18:30,410
So the footage stays the same
but those people,
357
00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:32,890
we don't know what's
happened to them.
358
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:36,610
But what... What of their Filofaxes?
What happened to them?
359
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,610
It seemed like a golden
age of twattery.
360
00:18:39,610 --> 00:18:44,490
But Thatcher's luck couldn't last
forever and as the 1990s approached
361
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:49,090
she got too ambitious, by unveiling
the controversial Paul Tax.
362
00:18:49,090 --> 00:18:51,370
A tax on people called Paul.
363
00:18:51,370 --> 00:18:53,610
And they were furious.
364
00:18:53,610 --> 00:18:56,210
Following a wave of protests,
365
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:59,290
Thatcher wound up on her Iron Arse,
leaving Downing Street crying
366
00:18:59,290 --> 00:19:03,970
tears down her face, which she'd
never done before in case it rusted.
367
00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:10,650
The next Prime Minister, Major John,
was as fearsome as he looked,
368
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:14,530
and he presided over yet another
depressing period of recession.
369
00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:19,130
Britain was in a right state,
not only financially
370
00:19:19,130 --> 00:19:22,370
but also economically,
and in money terms, too.
371
00:19:22,370 --> 00:19:26,730
The only hope was that we could
somehow paint and sing our way out.
372
00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:29,250
It was an art
and culture renaissance.
373
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:33,450
An era defined by Oasis,
The Spice Girls, Swede,
374
00:19:33,450 --> 00:19:38,170
Chris Evans, Take This,
Damien Hurts, The Proddy Guy,
375
00:19:38,170 --> 00:19:43,770
Trainspotting, Chris Evans,
Mr Blobby, Jamie Oliver, mopeds,
376
00:19:43,770 --> 00:19:46,290
ironic wanking, The Italian Job,
377
00:19:46,290 --> 00:19:49,570
Chris Evans, Chris Evans,
and Chris Evans.
378
00:19:49,570 --> 00:19:54,490
But one name sums up the nineties
better than anyone else: Blur.
379
00:19:54,490 --> 00:19:56,330
In the 1997 election,
380
00:19:56,330 --> 00:20:00,770
why do you think more people
voted for Tony Blur than Oasis?
381
00:20:02,090 --> 00:20:06,090
You're making, erm, a mistake which
was quite common at the time
382
00:20:06,090 --> 00:20:08,530
because the Prime Minister,
or Labour Party leader
383
00:20:08,530 --> 00:20:11,330
at the time, was called Tony Blair.
384
00:20:11,330 --> 00:20:13,170
Blur.
Blair.
385
00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:15,170
Blur. Blair. Blur.
386
00:20:16,730 --> 00:20:18,130
Blair. Blur.
387
00:20:18,130 --> 00:20:20,370
Tony Blair was....
Blur. Blair. Blur.
388
00:20:20,370 --> 00:20:25,410
..was Prime Minister and leader of
the Labour Party and there was one
389
00:20:25,410 --> 00:20:29,250
of the biggest, erm, rock or pop
bands of the time was Blur.
390
00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:31,130
Blur. Blur.
391
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:32,210
Yeah.
392
00:20:32,210 --> 00:20:33,730
It's hard to remember today,
393
00:20:33,730 --> 00:20:36,810
but Blur and Blair were actually
two different things.
394
00:20:36,810 --> 00:20:41,450
Blur were a rock band locked
into a notorious rivalry with Oasis.
395
00:20:41,450 --> 00:20:44,210
Oasis were rough-and-tumble
lads from Manchester,
396
00:20:44,210 --> 00:20:47,770
whereas Blur were from art school,
which is the opposite of Manchester.
397
00:20:47,770 --> 00:20:50,210
And that's why
they hated each other.
398
00:20:50,210 --> 00:20:53,690
Tony Blur, meanwhile,
was a guitarist and D:ream fan,
399
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:57,650
who reinvented the Labour Party and
rode it to victory at the election.
400
00:20:57,650 --> 00:20:59,770
Blur hosted a party at Number Ten,
401
00:20:59,770 --> 00:21:02,530
inviting lots of the Cool Britannia
crowd
402
00:21:02,530 --> 00:21:05,410
and immediately making them
much less cool.
403
00:21:05,410 --> 00:21:08,090
Anyone who was anyone who was
a massive prick was there.
404
00:21:08,090 --> 00:21:11,850
But the party atmosphere
was interrupted by tragedy.
405
00:21:11,850 --> 00:21:15,610
Diana's death couldn't have come at
a worse time for a nation
406
00:21:15,610 --> 00:21:18,970
that had just got really into being
judgmental about her sex life.
407
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:21,810
The sense of loss was shocking.
408
00:21:21,810 --> 00:21:24,770
It's hard to convey the atmosphere
to younger viewers,
409
00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:27,770
although it's fair to say
the general mood was...
410
00:21:27,770 --> 00:21:29,810
And also...
411
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:32,570
But because emojis hadn't
yet been invented,
412
00:21:32,570 --> 00:21:34,130
people had to cry with their faces.
413
00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:38,610
Millions looked to the Queen to pull
a ceremonial sad face in solidarity.
414
00:21:38,610 --> 00:21:40,930
But with the monarch
constitutionally forbidden
415
00:21:40,930 --> 00:21:44,570
to express emotion, their pleas
fell on deaf tear ducts.
416
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:47,850
Tony Blur stepped in to say
what needed to be said.
417
00:21:47,850 --> 00:21:50,050
He called Diana
"the Peebles Princes."
418
00:21:50,050 --> 00:21:51,930
"She was the People's Princess."
419
00:21:51,930 --> 00:21:54,770
Even though she wasn't from Peebles,
she was from Norfolk,
420
00:21:54,770 --> 00:21:58,610
but sometimes the facts aren't as
important as how something sounds.
421
00:21:58,610 --> 00:22:02,090
It was the first step on a post-pop
career that turned the
422
00:22:02,090 --> 00:22:07,450
Prime Minister into a living saint,
like Bono, or Holly Willoughby.
423
00:22:07,450 --> 00:22:10,770
Through the '90s, Blur solved
all the nation's problems -
424
00:22:10,770 --> 00:22:14,330
the economy, health, education,
education, education,
425
00:22:14,330 --> 00:22:17,370
even the Irish Troubles -
there was nothing he couldn't do.
426
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:20,170
But no sooner had the 21st century
started happening,
427
00:22:20,170 --> 00:22:23,130
than Blur dragged
Britain into the war on terror.
428
00:22:23,130 --> 00:22:25,410
But the war in Iraq proved
about as popular
429
00:22:25,410 --> 00:22:27,530
as infanticide-flavoured crisps.
430
00:22:27,530 --> 00:22:31,130
And Blair's legacy was well
and truly shat through a bin bag.
431
00:22:31,130 --> 00:22:34,090
Blur slinked off to
live inside a haunted mirror,
432
00:22:34,090 --> 00:22:36,410
leaving Number 10 under
the stewardship of a man
433
00:22:36,410 --> 00:22:40,050
with all the carefree joie de vivre
of a haunted cave in Poland -
434
00:22:40,050 --> 00:22:41,290
Gorgon Brown.
435
00:22:41,290 --> 00:22:44,490
Gorgon Brown knew mainly about
coins, but that wouldn't help him
436
00:22:44,490 --> 00:22:47,330
cos all the coins were about
to implode
437
00:22:47,330 --> 00:22:50,650
in a financial crisis
which would become known as
438
00:22:50,650 --> 00:22:53,130
"the financial crisis".
439
00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:57,090
People queued outside banks
in scenes of boring desperation.
440
00:22:57,090 --> 00:23:00,930
The world of money was broken
and no-one knew how to fix it.
441
00:23:00,930 --> 00:23:04,250
Today stock markets across the world
tumbled, imploded,
442
00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:07,250
continued to collapse like deflated
dirigibles.
443
00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:09,850
People say the financial
crisis happened
444
00:23:09,850 --> 00:23:15,010
because it just got too complicated
and it's all because of the maths.
445
00:23:15,010 --> 00:23:18,730
If we took maths out of the equation
it'd be much easier.
446
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:22,650
Couldn't we use something else
instead of numbers?
447
00:23:22,650 --> 00:23:27,650
I think that actually
you're right, in a way.
448
00:23:27,650 --> 00:23:31,890
That there is too much
maths in the way that people
449
00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:33,730
think about the economy.
450
00:23:33,730 --> 00:23:38,610
One of the things that occasionally
goes wrong is that economists
451
00:23:38,610 --> 00:23:43,450
think that they can build...
452
00:23:43,450 --> 00:23:45,930
PHONE RINGTONE: Man! I Feel Like
A Woman by Shania Twain
453
00:23:45,930 --> 00:23:48,410
# Let's go girls... #
454
00:23:51,010 --> 00:23:52,370
Sorry about that.
455
00:23:52,370 --> 00:23:55,410
After Gorgon Brown stuck
a plaster on the economy and left,
456
00:23:55,410 --> 00:23:57,690
the country needed a strong leader,
457
00:23:57,690 --> 00:24:01,850
and luckily one man stepped up
to single-handedly save the nation.
458
00:24:01,850 --> 00:24:04,250
The finest Prime Minister
Britain has ever had.
459
00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:06,810
A man whose name will never
be forgotten.
460
00:24:06,810 --> 00:24:08,770
Davis Cameron.
461
00:24:08,770 --> 00:24:12,170
Davis Cameron skilfully almost won
the 2010 election,
462
00:24:12,170 --> 00:24:15,210
and formed a Brokeback Mountain
style coalition
463
00:24:15,210 --> 00:24:18,050
with the equally visionary
and beloved Nick Clegg.
464
00:24:18,050 --> 00:24:20,570
Almost immediately,
Britain's problems,
465
00:24:20,570 --> 00:24:23,690
apart from the economy and social
injustice and all the other ones,
466
00:24:23,690 --> 00:24:27,810
were solved, and by 2011
everything was going swimmingly.
467
00:24:27,810 --> 00:24:31,010
There was even a new Diana, in the
form of Kate Middleton,
468
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,610
who married King William
469
00:24:32,610 --> 00:24:35,090
in a high definition reboot
of the Royal Wedding.
470
00:24:35,090 --> 00:24:37,610
By the time the Olympics
came to Britain
471
00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:40,450
the country was riding the crest
of a wave.
472
00:24:40,450 --> 00:24:43,690
Suddenly, it seemed like we could do
anything if we put our mind to it,
473
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:47,610
even stop moaning.
It was a great time to be British.
474
00:24:47,610 --> 00:24:49,570
Unless you were Scottish.
475
00:24:49,570 --> 00:24:52,930
Scotland wasn't sure it wanted
to be British any more
476
00:24:52,930 --> 00:24:55,010
and thought being Scottish
might be good enough.
477
00:24:55,010 --> 00:24:59,570
Delegates, it's game on
for Scotland.
478
00:24:59,570 --> 00:25:03,290
It's funny - why do Scottish
people hate the English
479
00:25:03,290 --> 00:25:09,650
when the English have absolutely no
feelings at all about the Scots?
480
00:25:10,970 --> 00:25:14,970
I suppose it's a bit like a...
a marriage...
481
00:25:14,970 --> 00:25:16,970
..of an old couple.
482
00:25:16,970 --> 00:25:20,290
Er, it's, you know,
it's as though Scotland
483
00:25:20,290 --> 00:25:22,370
and England got married
when they were young
484
00:25:22,370 --> 00:25:26,330
and it's constantly under debate
whether they're better off
485
00:25:26,330 --> 00:25:30,090
staying together for the sake
of the pension and the house
486
00:25:30,090 --> 00:25:33,610
or if they should get divorced.
487
00:25:33,610 --> 00:25:35,650
Do you think England snores?
488
00:25:35,650 --> 00:25:39,930
England looks to me like the kind of
person that snores. Mm.
489
00:25:39,930 --> 00:25:42,450
The Scots held something called
a referendum,
490
00:25:42,450 --> 00:25:45,170
which is a way of asking the public
what they want to happen,
491
00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:49,090
and then actually taking them
seriously, unlike in an election.
492
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:51,970
In the end, Scotland voted to stay
attached to England
493
00:25:51,970 --> 00:25:54,890
using a system of fields and roads,
as before.
494
00:25:54,890 --> 00:25:58,050
But the referendum had been such
a hit that Davis Cameron
495
00:25:58,050 --> 00:25:59,970
decided he wanted one, too.
496
00:25:59,970 --> 00:26:04,290
But this referendum would be
about a different country: Europe.
497
00:26:04,290 --> 00:26:06,050
And I will go to Parliament
498
00:26:06,050 --> 00:26:10,490
and propose that the British people
decide our future in Europe.
499
00:26:10,490 --> 00:26:11,930
It was a simple choice -
500
00:26:11,930 --> 00:26:15,330
should Britain leave things as they
were and stay part of Europe
501
00:26:15,330 --> 00:26:18,010
or, alternatively,
remain on its own,
502
00:26:18,010 --> 00:26:20,650
and become part of England instead?
503
00:26:20,650 --> 00:26:23,490
One thing's for sure,
Davis Cameron's referendum
504
00:26:23,490 --> 00:26:26,850
would stop anyone arguing about
Europe ever again.
505
00:26:26,850 --> 00:26:30,890
When the sun rose on
24th June, 2016,
506
00:26:30,890 --> 00:26:33,170
with it came the news that
Britain had voted Out.
507
00:26:33,170 --> 00:26:36,890
Brexit was happening,
and everyone was delighted.
508
00:26:36,890 --> 00:26:39,010
That is now statistically,
509
00:26:39,010 --> 00:26:43,170
mathematically there,
that the Leave campaign have won.
510
00:26:43,170 --> 00:26:45,570
The Brexit result
shook everything up.
511
00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:47,650
Suddenly Davis Cameron was out,
512
00:26:47,650 --> 00:26:51,570
Theresa May was in and Jeremy Corbyn
was sexually attractive.
513
00:26:51,570 --> 00:26:54,970
The future of Britain is now more
uncertain than at any point
514
00:26:54,970 --> 00:26:57,970
in the past, which is the opposite
of its future.
515
00:26:57,970 --> 00:27:03,410
Right now, is Britain at an
important moment in history,
516
00:27:03,410 --> 00:27:06,050
or a significant one?
517
00:27:06,050 --> 00:27:09,090
Erm...I'd say really important.
518
00:27:09,090 --> 00:27:11,410
Not significant?
Both.
519
00:27:11,410 --> 00:27:14,890
What if you had to choose one?
Important. Not significant?
520
00:27:14,890 --> 00:27:17,730
Just because it's important, doesn't
mean it's... They can be both.
521
00:27:17,730 --> 00:27:21,290
They can be important
and significant. Not in this.
522
00:27:21,290 --> 00:27:23,690
OK.
You have to choose one.
523
00:27:23,690 --> 00:27:25,890
If I'm going to choose one...
Yeah.
524
00:27:25,890 --> 00:27:29,130
..I'll chose important.
So it's not significant?
525
00:27:31,890 --> 00:27:35,170
Throughout this series
I've charted the story of Britain,
526
00:27:35,170 --> 00:27:37,170
and it's a story that ends here,
527
00:27:37,170 --> 00:27:40,130
with the country once again
at a turning point
528
00:27:40,130 --> 00:27:42,130
between a rock and a harder rock,
529
00:27:42,130 --> 00:27:45,970
closing one door with a foot
in the past, and opening another
530
00:27:45,970 --> 00:27:49,090
with an eye to the future, an eye
that's looking at itself in
531
00:27:49,090 --> 00:27:54,530
the mirror and asking the question,
"What sort of massive country am I?"
532
00:27:54,530 --> 00:27:58,170
Can the nation that withstood
Romans, Vikings, plagues,
533
00:27:58,170 --> 00:28:01,330
Great Fires, Rippers
and Hitler survive itself?
534
00:28:01,330 --> 00:28:05,730
Will it draw upon the spirit of King
Arthur, Lord Nelson, Queen Victoria,
535
00:28:05,730 --> 00:28:07,850
Charles Darwin and Andy Crane?
536
00:28:07,850 --> 00:28:11,130
Who will the Britain of tomorrow
look like? And why?
537
00:28:11,130 --> 00:28:14,130
Britain didn't get to have a long
history by ceasing to exist
538
00:28:14,130 --> 00:28:16,370
or being born yesterday.
539
00:28:16,370 --> 00:28:19,810
The one thing we can be sure of is
that Britain is Britain.
540
00:28:19,810 --> 00:28:22,010
And it'll stay that way forever.
541
00:28:22,010 --> 00:29:02,010
Until it's not.
