BBC Two - Miriam Margolyes: Australia Unmasked, Series 1, Episode 2

Miriam explores how class impacts the fair go in Victoria.

Miriam explores how class impacts the fair go in Victoria. She encounters individuals from a variety of backgrounds that challenge her perception of the social hierarchy.

One of the things Miriam Margolyes has always loved about being Australian is being part of a nation that isn’t ruled by class. But she increasingly suspects that’s not the whole story.

Ever alert to the contradictions, Miriam wants to understand what class looks like in Australia – and how much it shapes our expectations and opportunities. To answer this question, Miriam travels through the state of Victoria and across the class divide – attending polo matches and bogan burnouts.
