The Curious Character of Britain: 3: That's How We Poor People Live

on BBC One London

A series of travel films that goes somewhere different each week in search of the British - and gets involved with their feelings about the place they call home.
The British are a complex people, with customs and dialects surprisingly different from those in the village or county next door. Because of the mixture - can anyone know the British?

Rich fields - a potent crop; practical farmers - medieval but modern; practical merchants - modern but 18th-century. A successful market town.
