Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

dustysandals Why is it that continuity still put berets on men the wrong way round? Even when confronted with actual footage of the uniform, they still dressed Andrew up as Frank Spencer! Shame!When will the BBC (and other channels) stop referring to the British flag as the "Union Jack". The Jack is a rod to hang the flag on at the end (stern) of a boat!Apart from these comments, a good programme, and despite some comments about Andrew "dressing up" and also "dressing up of history" I thought it was OK.It's just small points that ruin it for me.

darren gamble SPOLER ALERT this program is about the history of modern Briton from 1945 to 2007 END OF SPOILERS Andrew Mar gives a very accurate and detailed view of the modern British culture and society.from the austerity and decline of the 1940 and early fifties to the culture boom of 1955-73 gives a good idea of how, as a nation, Britain has changed over a short period of time.it then goes on further into the failures of heath and Callaghan including the "3 day week" and "the winter of discontent".it then explains that with a few "hiccups" Britain was "saved" by Mrs. T who pitted the fool who supported socialists and not Reagan.after Marr explains Mrs T. challenge by Mr.H and replacement by Mr.M the final episode deals with the years 1990-2007.thers not much to say about the final episode but it was the weakest of the series.overall though a brilliant documentary 10/10

Nick Pett Top work Mr Marr. Endearingly eccentric, enthusiastic, exhilarating overview of Britain. Of course there are gaps and highly debatable views, but he got all the top stories on the screen and reminded (hopefully) hundreds of thousands of people how we got to where we are. This is the sort of thing that makes history shimmer and excite - whetting the appetite for more in-depth explorations of each of the powerful stories that made up this wonderful series. I particularly enjoyed the episode that covered Harold Wilson - a time that i know little about but this programme made me want to dive into it and explore. And fragments of childhood memory came back to me during the episode on the 80s - my father's hulking mobile phone and the disappearance of my village bobby to go to the miners' strikes. Very evocative. Running over all of this was Marr's rich and engaging language - his presenting was the icing on the cake. Overall, Bonkers but brilliant.
