Andrew Marr continues his rollicking account of the early 20th century, placing the era as a time of seeming innocence captured in children's classics such as The Wind in the Willows. But we shouldn't be fooled: "Edwardian Britain has been covered by a golden, dappled glow," Marr tells us, reclining in a punt on a golden, dappled river. Yet "Dark, angry storm clouds were brewing." The big storm was the First World War, but before that there were other rumblings - dockers' strikes and battles over women's suffrage. The jittery archive clip of Emily Wilding Davison running in front of the king's horse at Epsom is shocking to watch.

  • ok - I give up!

    Can anybody tell me the name of the song that plays between 2:23 and 3:16?

    It`s driving me nuts! I know I played that song on the piano once - but I cant for the life of me remember the name. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  • this series has not made its way to my homeland, (New Zealand), more's the pity, and I have not heard of Andrew Marr. But it is certainly interesting
