There are a number of elements to this lecture. The first is a look at the emergence of the North in a Taste of Honey, This Sporting life etc…

Second would be a look at Swinging Britain - Michael Caine in Alfie, the Beatles in a Hard Day’s night and the James Bond movies. Third would be a look at the last days of Empire as seen in Zulu and, comically, Carry On Up the Khyber.
