Common Ground: Class

In Common Ground, Evan Davis travels around the UK to find out how divided we really are. The series asks whether our society is really becoming increasingly polarised and what people across the country are doing to build stronger communities and connections. In this episode Evan interrogates what we actually mean when we talk about class today and how it affects how well we live together. Reporter Katie travels to Bristol to hear from a couple who have married across class lines. How important is a class when it comes to our relationships? Does it still define our life trajectory and if so, what does that mean for the way we live and interact? He’ll also be joined by an expert panel to dig deeper into these questions.
