| Summary |
Drinking is arguably England's greatest and most enduring pastime, one that is not constrained by either social or economic bounds. This documentary from Brian Hill sets out to explore the celebratory aspects of England's number one drug in lyrical fashion and has won several awards, including the UK's Royal Television Society's Best Documentary of the Year and Best Documentary at the MIND National Media Awards in Britain. Characters like Denis, a retired professional gent in Norfolk, whose daily routine includes gin and tonic and thinks drink driving laws should be relaxed for experienced drivers like him, tell or sing their stories in verse, their words composed by poet Simon Armitage. (From the UK, in English) |
