New Elizabethans with Andrew Marr - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Building a New Society
Andrew Marr examines the way in which Britain went from a rigid, class-obsessed society in the 1950s toward a more liberal, inclusive, egalitarian society in the latter part of the Queen's reign.
A Brave New World
Andrew Marr explores how Britain since 1952 has coped with the loss of empire, American cultural and political hegemony, and the rise of a consolidated European superstate.
Made in Britain
In the final episode, Andrew looks at one of the greatest challenges faced by modern Elizabethans: the loss of Britain's manufacturing heartlands and the surprising impact it has had on the state of the nation.
To tell this story, he selects a rich cast of characters who have - in his estimation - responded to the challenges and found ingenious ways of adapting to the changing industrial landscape.
