The New British Empire

Summary In the first episode in the series, Dominic examines the way in which culture has become our newest export and a key part of our identity on the world stage. He argues that it is an industry every bit as much as shipbuilding or textile production - a commodity that has been manufactured, marketed and exported. And, like the industrial revolution, ours is a cultural revolution that has flourished in the old industrial regions and has drawn heavily on the former connections of empire. London may be a global cultural capital, but British culture owes as much to the industrial north and the echoes of our imperial past as it does to south east England.
