Further details

From the inner rage we're consumed by which we keep entirely to ourselves, to being totally unable to receive a compliment, via our inability to complain in shops and restaurants, the show provides an opportunity for us all to share in, and revel in, our national traits and oddities, and breathe a collective sigh of relief.
