The 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and journalist Paul Mason on capitalism.

With Sarah Brett and Dotun Adebayo. The men and women of the RAF, who fought to defend Britain during the Battle of Britain, and journalist and music fan Paul Mason on capitalism.

75 years to the day since The Battle of Britain, we've been speaking to some of "the few" remaining men and women of the RAF, who fought to defend Britain from the onslaught of the Luftwaffe. Northern Soul-loving music teacher turned Newsnight and Channel 4 economics editor PAUL MASON explains why he thinks capitalism as we know it is broken, and why a new - postcapitalist world - is on its way. And the author HALLIE RUBENHOLD whose book 'Lady Worsley's Whim' has been turned in to the BBC costume drama 'The Scandalous Lady W' says "she's over the moon" with the adaptation although it's different and much shorter than the story in her book.
