Series exploring British traditions of satire and bawdy and lewd humour.
Despite some of the illusions we have of ourselves, the British are not and have never been a polite people. Some of our greatest writers and artists have mixed high art with a good measure of filth and red-blooded rudeness.
In the early 18th century, Georgian Britain was a nation openly, gloriously and often shockingly rude. This was found in the graphic art of Hogarth, Gillray, Rowlandson and George Cruikshank, and the rude theatrical world of John Gay and Henry Fielding. Singer Lucie Skeaping helps show the Georgian taste for lewd and bawdy ballads, and there is a dip into the literary tradition of rude words via the poetry of Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and Lord Byron, and Laurence Sterne's novel Tristram Shandy.
In three-part series Rude Britannia, BBC Four comes over all vulgar as it uncovers more than three centuries of satirical, lewd and bawdy art, literature and popular culture. Through all its incarnations from painting and cartooning to theatre and music hall, peep shows and comics to television and radio, this series will leave no stone unturned in its exploration of Britain's rich history of rude.
