2/3. Clubs. Ian Hislop continues his look at the historical, social and moral landscape of that oft-quoted but rarely defined landscape, Middle England, by asking whether one of the key criticisms levelled at it - that it's exclusive and self-serving - is valid. To find out he steps out in Guildford to look at the clubs - explicit and implicit : that sustain Middle England. As well as improving his golf swing and jam-making skills, he discovers a long history of civic engagement that defines Middle Engenders and the world they inhabit. Producer Philip Sellars
