BBC Radio 4 Extra - Unmasking the English, Miss Jane Marple

Andrew Marr tries to better understand the mysterious English by looking at its characters

4 Extra Debut. Andrew Marr tries to better understand the mysterious English by looking at national characters, both real and fictional. From September 2007.

Andrew Marr examines the people of England by comparing them with some quintessentially English characters - both real and fictional. 

Agatha Christie's uber-sleuth Jane Marple is old-fashioned and posh, but what do her tactics of self-deprecation tell us? 

Scotsman Andrew sets out to unmask the mysterious English with AA Gill, PD James, Peter York and Anita Anand. 

Producer: Tom Alban 

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2007.
