1918-1939
In a series of 13 programmes James Cameron reflects two decades which are both history and living memory. 6: England Asleep
The moment anything went wrong Baldwin and MacDonald came together in a conspiracy to do nothing. Baldwin embodied England asleep.
A quote from the frustrated voice of young Britain in the late 20s. Were we asleep?
JAMES CAMERON finds some of the answers from those who bought the first second-hand cars and gave the Prince of Wales a lift; from those who made the first ' talkies ' and watched them: from the first Tory to visit Soviet Russia; and from those who danced their way to the end of the gay 20s.
