Default History of Modern Britain

Is anyone else watching this. I find it compulsive viewing. I wish Andrew Marr went into more detail as it's only an overview, but it's very good nonetheless. Last night it was Harold Wilson and Ted Heath. I can vaguely remember Wilson, and definitely remember Heath and his 3 day week. Last night was painful in a way - all the failures of the 1960s and 1970s, Britain in sharp and seemingly terminal decline.

Next week we have Callaghan and Thatcher, if you haven't been watching then do tune in, it's terrific.
