New Elizabethans with Andrew Marr

- Season 1

(2020)

Andrew explores changing attitudes to the death penalty, sexuality and race by looking at figures such as Diana Dors, Ruth Ellis, Roy Jenkins, Mary Whitehouse, Graham Chapman and Darcus Howe.

Andrew explores how we have sought to come to terms with Britain's decline as a world power since 1952 by looking at big names such as Louis Mountbatten, Tony Benn, Enoch Powell, Bob Geldof and David Attenborough.

While Britain declined as an industrial power, it still had great inventors, entrepreneurs and cultural exports. Andrew looks at figures such as Christopher Cockerell, Dusty Springfield, Ridley Scott, Clive Sinclair and Anita Roddick.
