The UK is more divided than ever, and no one seems able to agree on anything. What does it mean to be British? To be a man? To be white or 'of colour', gay or straight, young or old, or none of the above? It seems we can’t see the woods for the trees. What’s needed is a little outside perspective. Enter: Phil Wang – a caustic British-Malaysian comedian who grew up on the island of Borneo. A centrist with a heart; an artist with an engineering degree. In this pilot episode, Phil turns his attention to the British Empire - was British colonialism really one big crime? Modern liberalism would say so, but Phil’s Dad sure misses those prompt British buses: 'I wish they’d come take us over again. Maybe I’d get to work on time!' Written by and starring Phil Wang Original music by Fauxe. Produced and edited by Matt Stronge. A ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Studios production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4, first broadcast in May 2019.
