A secret history of British television. Young weaves a number of threads to produce a convincing argument that Britain (mainly England) is a country at war itself and which has always been.
I'm off to watch Penda's Fen.

To be honest I'm not sure what the overall thesis was, or even if it intended to present one. But for a child of the 70s/80s this is just a wonderful reminiscence of (mostly) the outer-edges of popular tv.
It taps into that nostalgia addiction in exactly the same way as those endless (and tbh pretty self-aware) "50 Best xxx" countdown progs do.
