The Bigger Picture: Political history or a blip?; dandies and punks; Britain and the space race

He looks at the politics and culture of music and dress from punk and Thatcher's new romantics through to a very modern dandy. And he comments on the race to be Europe's first spaceport, which may be won by Britain.
