US comedian Reginald D Hunter takes a thought-provoking and sometimes moving trip through history, exploring the origins of the class system in Britain and why, even now, it continues to infuse all sorts of areas of British life. As an American who has lived in Britain for the past 25 years, Reginald is uniquely placed to understand the nuances surrounding class in Britain and to be able to compare them to some of the enduring challenges in America of race and discrimination. Meeting experts including comedy “national treasure” Alexei Sayle, Reginald broaches everything from capitalism to suffragettes, and from regional accents to afternoon tea.
