Popular Culture

In the UK we have been famous for producing books, plays, music, television, film and all other artistic pursuits. We have a roll call of famous names, some of which I will mention below.

William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, R F Delderfield, Michael Bond and Elle McNicoll.

The Beatles, Pet Shop Boys, The Proclaimers, The Police, Mike Batt

John Constable, L S Lowry, JMW Turner, David Hockney, Damien Hirst

Doctor Who, Bagpuss, All Creatures Great and Small, Ashes to Ashes, One Foot in the Grave

Love Actually, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Melody, Dracula, Dead of Night

Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Helen Mirren

These were just the first 25 examples off the top of my head. I could think of literally hundreds more, but given our size I think we can say that it is the one area of British life where we excel.
