Description

It's the finale of our Titanic series on Britain's post-war decline, and we reach Jim Callaghan and the Winter of Discontent. There are rubbish bags and corpses piling up in the streets. Everyone's on strike. Lads; it's time for mummy to come and pick you up.


The show for people who like history but don't care what actually happened.
