Interesting documentary about British culture and our so-called stiff upper lip (how we do not show our emotions in public). It looks at how this was represented in the media during world war 2 and how our attitudes and behaviours changed from the 1960's with the influence of American values and media.

The turning point seems to be the death of Diana. Some really interesting observations about the values and beliefs in post-war Britain. Watch it!
