Episode 1 of 6

German comedian Henning Wehn begins his exploration of what it is to be British. He begins by looking at the subject of class, with the help of social commentator Peter York.

Comedian Henning Wehn (German Comedy Ambassador to the United Kingdom) has spent over ten years living in the UK and feels he's in a good position to share his views on Britain and its unique foibles. With a tongue sharper than a rapier sword, and searing Teutonic honesty, he shares his thoughts on what it is to be British.

Taking a look at various aspects of British life over the next six weeks - politics, languages, sport, humour, shopping - he begins with the very British subject of class.

Each week he's joined by his musical companion, Otto Kuhnle - the Fatherland's foremost Yodelmeister - and a different guest. These will include Andy Hamilton, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen, Graham Taylor, language expert Henry Hitchings, the ex-football mascot and Mayor of Hartlepool, Stuart Drummond. First up is social expert Peter York.
