Citizen Smith: Corby

posted by Steve Bowbrick

I really don’t know why this terrific series about being English works. It’s very unassuming. Presenter/writer Michael Smith is opinionated but modest, setting out with no assumptions. He travels around the country talking to people.  In the end, there’s no resolution. He didn’t figure it out: being English is just complicated. The final sequence of this last episode will have you in tears: English people of every ethnic type tell the camera what they’re proud of about England.
