Britain's Greatest Obsessions
Reginald D Hunter on Class
Season 1 Episode 5 of 6
US-born comedian Reginald D Hunter takes a thought-provoking and sometimes moving trip through history, exploring the origins of the class system in Britain and why, even now, it continues to infuse all sorts of areas of British life. Reginald broaches everything from capitalism to suffragettes and from regional accents to afternoon tea and meets etiquette expert William Hanson, who reveals how the way a person holds a teacup and cutlery can be telltale giveaways to their class and 'breeding'. Other contributors include Liverpool comedian Alexei Sayle
