Description
What kind of country is England today? What does it mean to be English?
Stuart walks in the footsteps of J.B. Priestley’s classic travelogue, English Journey, exploring our national identity and how it has evolved, taking us from Bristol’s Banksy to Durham’s beaches, from Cotswolds corduroy to Stoke’s oatcakes. He takes inspiration from the people he meets at bus stops and train stations, cafes and corner shops, uncovering local heroes and secret histories over early breakfasts and last orders.
The Full English challenges us to embrace the messy, shifting and diverse nature of England, and to ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be.
