British Passions on FilmNot seen the first of these but we have no qualms in highly recommending the second because they’re always fantastic, this one looking at what the nation’s done on their holidays and hopefully including some lovely evocative shots of sleeper trains and the like.
The People’s SongsThis series certainly isn’t just aiming for the standard Radio 2 demographic as it’s been true to its word of covering the entire sphere of post-war British pop, and we mark the halfway point with another more recent tune in Cigarettes And Alcohol. The reason it’s here is because it became the unofficial anthem of the new lad, a movement that seemed quite exciting at the time. Remarkably Loaded is still going, even though we haven’t got a clue who reads it, but it’s probably still more relevant than the world’s worst magazine, the truly appalling GQ.
