The 80s with Dominic Sandbrook

This episode takes in everything from the popularity of Delia Smith to affordable fashions on the high street, from the subcultures of Britain's youth to the crisis of identity that rocked and splintered the political Left. But it also shows how the mood of aspiration that swept the nation left certain sections of society adrift and alienated; from the hollowed out industrial heartlands of the Midlands to the inner city communities of South London and Liverpool.
