How to behave in Britain (1943) with Cassidy Cash from 'That Shakespeare Life' podcast and the 'DIY History' Channel on YouTube

Sean is joined by Cassidy Cash from ‘That Shakespeare Life’ podcast to discuss ‘How to behave in Britain’ (1943).Whilst discussing this training film for United States Armed Forces in the Second World War, they navigate pub etiquette in Britain, Shove Ha’penny, and Pounds, Shillings and Pennies. Although a nostalgic film, there is a section when the narrator of the film discusses the differences between British and American's treatment of black soldiers in their respective countries. This societal difference is broached in the film and discussed in this podcast.Please Note: The section contains the use of the term ‘coloured people’. This is quoted purely as part of a historical discussion and review of the film. It is no way meant to cause any offence.A film which is a heavy slice of nostalgia but which is tinged with the whole situation around race relations. Guest Biography:Cassidy Cash is a historical map illustrator and Shakespeare historian.
