The Golf Club
David Mitchell ends his look at modern manners in a golf club bar. The members reflect ruefully on the demise of the jacket and tie. So have things all gone wrong? Not really.
David Mitchell ends his look at the state of modern manners in the bar at Chipping Sodbury golf club. The older members reflect ruefully on the demise of the jacket and tie. It is, they argue, all about standards - and they're falling. So has everything really gone wrong with our manners? David returns to Henry Hitchings, Kate Bottley, Steven Pinker and some of his other series' guests and gets an altogether more optimistic view.
Producer: Chris Ledgard.
