Class in Britain header image

Sundays from 10 July, 8pm

Channel 4's Class in Britain series features three authored films that scrutinise the history of Britain's class system and discovers that class and the friction between the classes can still be vibrant and valuable forces in modern Britain.

The three films are:

  • The British Working Class – writer Michael Collins explains how the white working class has been left disenfranchised and disenchanted


  • The British Middle Class uncovers the strange Victorian nonconformist sect that invented the buildings, prejudices and ideology that shaped the modern middle class


  • The British Upper Class – writer and critic James Delingpole seeks a new definition of Britain's modern upper class and comes to a highly unusual defence of this most unloved caste.
