Will Self requires a 1,000-mile tour of the united kingdom simply by bus and trainer, exploring urban Britain and Uk identity at the same time of flux. Bus and trainer windows afford him a different perspective on the nation. He eschews the bright lights from the big cities, heading rather for smaller urban centres. His objective is to speak to Britons about how exactly they view their metropolitan areas and themselves in 2018.

Over ten programs, Will’s trip needs him to Plymouth, Swansea, West Bromwich, Wolverhampton, Preston, Middlesbrough, East Kilbride and Derry-Londonderry. In the seafood and chip shops, the B&Bs, the pubs and car restoration garages, Will debates the state of British identification – and discovers that Britain today has turned into a highly debatable property.
