Watched a three parter from the BBC on Class and Culture hosted by Melvyn Bragg , the fella I know from the In Our Time radio show. While it is certainly one persons view of the last 100+ years of the story it is a well done view. Go find it however it is you might find such things. Extending past the shows scope it comes to mind how class/culture still has a hold on us even in the brave new world of blippy bits and s/n issues.
