Manners in Public Places

BBC Radio 4 - Behaving Ourselves: Mitchell on Manners, Manners in Public Places

David Mitchell continues his look at our behaviour. What do we mean by 'civility'?

David Mitchell explores the idea of civility and good public manners and asks how the digital age is changing our idea of public space.

David Mitchell continues his inquiry into modern behaviour, exploring what we mean by 'civility' and good manners in public places. He meets the vicar of the churches of Blyth, Scrooby and Ranskill, the Reverend Kate Bottley (aka the 'Gogglebox vicar'), and Tony Blair's former head of policy, Geoff Mulgan. Why are people still pinching vicars' bottoms, and what can the state do to improve standards of public behaviour? And, David asks, how is the digital age changing our sense of public space?
Producer: Chris Ledgard.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.

David Mitchell investigates the confusing world of manners.
