At last a subject we all know more about than the experts - or think we do. The subject is ourselves. Working class heroes; good inventors but poor businessmen - that's the verdict on the British given by two recent Italian and West German television reports. And the French have been out to see if their country's cliche views of us need updating. How accurate are the comments made about us by Continental television journalists?

Bowler-hatted, long-haired or cloth-capped: judge for yourself from these films. See if you agree with what those French, Germans and Italians are saying about us.
