In a series of 13 programmes James Cameron reflects two decades which are both history and living memory.
"What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in." Those stirring words from Lloyd George gave heart to the weary troops returning from the war to end all wars. Now life at home could return to normal - or could it?
James Cameron finds some of the answers from the people who voted at the Khaki Election, witnessed Versailles and the burial of the Unknown Warrior, danced to the new jazz, watched Charlie Chaplin at the flicks and George Robey at the music-hall, cheered the first Atlantic flight, jeered the first women voters and believed in the promises of the politicians.
