The last of six programmes.
Britain's ills are often attributed to an inability to adapt to change. But is change possible if the country's leading institutions remain set in their ways?
A critical look at six pillars of society, outwardly powerful, but facing the insecurity of being misunderstood by a sceptical public. Scotland Yard
