A few bits and bobs this week .Two programmes of clips driven by irony-laden nostalgia (It Was Alright in the 1980s and Britain as Seen on TV) and a repeat of The 90s: Ten Years That Changed the World, a documentary that looks at the overly commodified pop-culture of the 1990s in an entirely uncritical way. The only glimmer of hope is the a new (and apparently last) chunk of Shane Meadows’s semi-autobiographical This is England with this alter ego, Sean Fields, aged eighteen facing up to adulthood in the 1990s.
Details can be found on the TV and Radio page.
