BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, What'll you have?

Tom Shakespeare muses on why - thanks to George Orwell - he's heading straight for the pub when lockdown is lifted.

"So far," writes Tom Shakespeare, "the pub has weathered the tides of history and adapted to every change...so far." 

But Tom argues that, in the aftermath of months of closure, this great British institution is now in peril and we all have a role in saving it.  

Producer: Adele Armstrong
