Synopsis
Ian Hislop rescues the reputation of the maverick ‘Do-Gooders’ who he believes fixed the 19th century’s version of ‘broken Britain’ in this new history series. Irresistibly easy to mock, these busy bodies are highly unfashionable today. But they are heroes to Ian – extraordinary men and women who precipitated the most remarkable period of social change in British history and, Ian argues, left us with a nation worth living in. And yet unlike notable Victorian royals, inventors, politicians and generals, many of them have been all but forgotten.
