Reasons to be Cheerful - Series 1 - Episode 3

A series which seeks to challenge the prevailing atmosphere of doom and gloom and dare to be optimistic. Comedian Stephen K Amos offers an antidote to grumpiness. He is cheerful that school pupils no longer have to wear tank tops, classrooms are generally cheerier places and that houses are more individual than when he was growing up. He is also pleased that racism is no longer so overt, and talks to former MP Oona King and grumpy comedian Felix Dexter, who concedes that things have improved since the days of The Black and White Minstrel Show and Love Thy Neighbour. A Loftus production for BBC Radio 4.
