Grumpy Old Men: The Nanny State

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

2/4. Every day, we're told what to eat, not to smoke and how much to exercise, while CCTV monitors our every move. Tonight's bunch of curmudgeonly contributors - including Arthur Smith, AA Gill, John Humphrys and Jeremy Clarkson - are fed up of being mollycoddled. As Bill Bryson points out, it's possible to buy a Superman cape bearing the priceless legend "does not enable actual flight" - surely we could have worked that out for ourselves?
Producer Alan Lewens; Executive producer Stuart Prebble (AD)
