This is particularly true for a contemporary history, such as my new History of Modern Britain, the BBC series and the fat book with it. I'm a BBC voice and I try very hard, therefore, to avoid party political bias. More than that, I wanted to tell the story of this country since 1945 in a way that was open to as many viewers as possible - asking questions, reminding, provoking, rather than laying down the law.

Description BBC - Andrew Marr's History Of Modern Britain, 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain is a 2007 BBC documentary television series presented by Andrew Marr that covers the period of British history from the end of the Second World War onwards. Advance Britannia, 1945 - 1955 Britain in 1945; the country is victorious but nearly bankrupt. As Clement Attlee's Labour government sets out to build 'New Jerusalem', Britain is forced to hold out the begging bowl in Washington. Though Ealing Studios produces a series of very British comedies and there is a spirit of hope in the air, the British people's growing impatience with austerity threatens to take the country from bankruptcy to self-destruction. The Land of Lost Content, 1955 - 1964 The 1950s were a period of apparent calm, order and prosperity for Britain, but much of the populace was hungry for change, many began to distrust the government and protestors and satirists led people to question and mock their rulers.
Was David Bowie really a gender-bending revolutionary, or do I treat him too seriously? And is it fair to mock Eighties big-hair music quite as aggressively? Everywhere I go to film, from the awful murder of James Bulger in Bootle, to the ships of the Falklands task force, or the control room from where the 7/7 London bombings were dealt with, or Alexandra Palace, where the 14-hour technicolour rave erupted, I'm stepping on people's memories and lives.

Reception [ ] Reviews [ ] writing in complimented Marr for his confrontational, argumentative, personalised history stating that television history, done well, should be more of an ice-bath than a comforting, warm soak. Congratulates Marr for analysing the times in which he immerses himself, effortlessly communicating his enthusiasm, and hinting at fundamental truths of the human condition which he states is the future of factual programming. He is also impressed that Marr maintains his penetrating scrutiny and level of insight throughout the series. Exclaims the show shone the light of understanding into hitherto dark and musty corners of ignorance but criticises the final episode for concentrating too much on Blair's People's Princess speech after Diana's death. Complaints [ ] In 2009, Marr's publisher,, was successfully sued for libel by activist after his book A History of Modern Britain claimed she had once been part of the militant group that staged bomb attacks in the 1970s. Pizzey became an opponent of the group and threatened to report their activities to the police when they discussed their intention of bombing, a lively fashion store. The publisher also recalled and destroyed the offending version of the book, and republished it with the error removed.

Release Date: 2009-11-18 The war was won and folks were fed up with feeling miserable, so the British people settled in for a decadent decade: the 1920s. Marr's feisty overview dances between topics (from the private housing boom to the Irish Civil War) and characters without crowbarring in contrived links. It's a captivating pick and mix without any drab, dry moments. Culturally, we thrived in the 20s. Nightclubs, sex and drugs were all the rage. Old money partied with new and the aristocrats made writers and artists their playthings. Cue the DH Lawrence stills and footage of dancing girls illiberally sprinkled with sequins.

Release Date: 2009-11-25 It can't be long before Andrew Marr is snapped up to star in a BBC drama.

It's his predilection for dressing up.
However, the Wilson governments presided over years of industrial conflict, stagnation and decline.

My job was to weave countless 'theirs' into one 'our story', which is bound to be contentious, and should be. So, to take some examples, I talk about the disgust many people felt for the post-war diet, particularly the unpopular imported tinned fish snoek; yet there will probably be people still alive who thought that actually, snoek was rather nice. I talk about a country brimming with hope in 1945, which seems to me a reasonable summary of all of I've read.
