Episodes

Episode 1 • May 21, 2007
Advance Britannia
In this first episode, Andrew looks at the country's situation in the wake of the devastation left after World War 2, and how Britain manage to pick up the pieces with new hope and belief as the 1950s beckon.
Episode 2 • May 28, 2007
The Land of Lost Content
The second programme in the series explodes the popular image of the 1950s as a golden age of order and prosperity, and of lost content. A Conservative government is back in power. The economy appears to be improving. New homes are being built, the age of mass car ownership is dawning and people have money in their pockets. But 1950s Britain is not as calm as it looks, or as strong.
Episode 3 • Jun 04, 2007
Paradise Lost
Andrew Marr examines the age of Harold Wilson's classless society; a country excited by new technology, modern architecture and the scary futurism of Doctor Who. Wilson attempted to connect with the 60s spirit of progress by conjuring up the image of a future driven by science and the white heat of technology. But while the swinging sixties unleashed dreams of a fairer, liberated future, the Wilson governments presided over years of industrial conflict, stagnation and decline.
Episode 4 • Jun 11, 2007
Revolution
Promising to restore order, confidence and national pride, Margaret Thatcher unleashed a dramatic and divisive transformation of British society. In a period of extreme ideological polarisation, British identity was redefined by the global market, and striking miners and sections of the Trade Union movement were demonised as the enemy within.
Episode 5 • Jun 18, 2007
New Britannia
Britain enters the uncharted waters of the post-Thatcher era. Many have done well during the Thatcher years but now boom is turning to bust. Britain feels more vulnerable than ever to rapid international change - from the influence of powerful new global market forces to global warming.
