Timeshift

Documentary which digs into the archive to discover the unwritten rules that have governed the way we drink in Britain. In the pubs and working men's clubs of the forties and fifties there were strict customs governing who stood where. To be invited to sup at the bar was a rite of passage for many young men. As the country prospered and foreign travel became widely available, so new drinking habits were introduced.
