Andrew Maxwell begins a stocktake of British values by looking at different jobs.

The first in a new series looking at the world of work from stand-up comedian Andrew Maxwell

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have started to reflect more on our working lives and increasingly question the relative value of different occupations around the UK. Andrew Maxwell investigates why until now we have traditionally valued some jobs above others and what a new understanding of “work” might mean for how we approach our changing world.

This week, Andrew looks at the history of jobs, and his guests are Richard Donkin, the author of "The History of Work", and DIY expert and entrepreneur Jo Behari.

Producer: Richard Morris
Production co-ordinator: Ryan Walker-Edwards
