Gary Bellamy tries to pin down what it means to be British. He talks to historian Michael Dadd about why Britain is called 'Great'.

He interviews radio phone-in host Steve Goodall who regularly broadcasts his opinion that the ordinary people of Britain like himself have no voice.

He visits a multicultural market to talk to stall holder Linda Darling about Britain's cultural diversity, and argues with Australian bar owner Nicky Ambrose over his claims that England is a weak nation.
