1918-1939
In a series of 13 programmes James Cameron reflects two decades which are both history and living memory. 2: The Bubble Burtts
I'm forever blowing bubbles... It was a hopeful time at the end of World War I. There was a mini-boom, and Lloyd George to keep spirits up. but soon the bubble burst. Why?
JAMES CAMERON finds some of the answers from the people who flew in dirigibles, were conductors on 'pirate' buses; who challenged the chaperone rules and became the first policewomen: who went to prison with George Lansbury , and witnessed and stood in the growing unemployment queues: who cheered and even danced with the Prince of Wales, and who lived through the downfall of Lloyd George and the start of the dancing 20s.
