'Educating Rita' from 1983. 'There must be better songs to sing than this!'

Direct from PG Towers, join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV,  Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week, we cast our gaze on the classic British film 'Educating Rita' from 1983, starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine. Touching on patriarchal expectations on women, class and education, there's plenty in this film to gaze upon.Also, Dave's onions are slowly pickling.
