Series of programmes in which two people from different generations discuss a topic that reveals the changing nature of Britain.
The theme of the first five programmes is Respect.
Kevin Madden started teaching in a Catholic, inner-city Manchester
boys' school in 1945. His grandson Patrick McMahon has just started
teaching in a mainly moslem school in Rochdale. They discuss the
changing nature of respect between pupils and teachers and how schools
have reflected wider society.
