I came across a video of this programme recently. Though in parts it is an extremely moving tribute to the politics of english youth in the closing years of the twentieth century I found it a little one sided.
Over 90 minutes numerous young commentators (about thirty in all) are each given sixty seconds to describe what various words (sex, pollution, death, royalty) mean to them whilst images of "britishness" play behind them. Their comments tend to be restrained and slightly moany, as if being camera shy. The slighty sloppy chromakey effect begins to offput after a while as if the whole thing was done on the cheap and then given an uncalled-for post production polish and sometimes I found myself concentrating on the lesser important background images.
Full marks, however, go to the skinny guy with glasses who seems to comment on all of the subjects. He's hilarious! Who is he? Why hasnt he got his own TV show?
Less moaning. More humour in future please.
