Description: Alan Titchmarsh takes us to post-War Britain in search of treasured values and traditions that were once the soul of society. With characteristic wit and warmth he draws on his own experiences, down high streets and through farmyards, onto trolley buses and into local pubs, and asks what can we learn from this era of austerity to make our lives better in the 21st century?
