Do They Mean Us?

on BBC Two England

Our sense of humour baffles foreigners, our politics bother them, our pre-occupation with tradition bemuses them. And as to our attitude toward sex - c'est hardly 'formidable'.
Tonight, and for the next four weeks, Derek Jameson looks at the way foreign television reports on us, the British.
Apparently, we don't wash, we don't know how to bring up our children, and we are morose and miserable even on holiday. On the other hand, we are always polite, we are kind to animals, and we would be great in a crisis - if we knew one when we saw one. Derek Jameson , of course, brings his own special wit to bear on interpreting all these eccentric foreign reporters.... Research MARK ROGERS
