*PREVIEW* - Marmalade Sandwiches and National Mourning
Manage episode 344413668 series 2907557
We've done our duties Paddington, now take us to straight to hell (boy).
Two weeks of pent-up angst, hilarity and bewilderment comes out in a wild ride through Britain's "period of national mourning".
What on earth is a 'national mood', what are its rituals, who invented them and when? What do these offerings - these marmalade totems - reveal about British sentiment and sentimentality? What does it say about the UK that foodbanks will close down as a mark of respect to a dead monarch? When are we all aware of our 'place in history'? Where were you when the Queen died / while we were getting high on marmalade sandwiches?
