How Does Britain Work? - Parliament 

Here it is - the episode of HDBW that you've all been waiting for!

Another photo from Saturday's filming - hardly my most glamourous look!

Here are some pictures from Saturday's filming. We filmed three churches but these are of St Michael's and All Angels C of E, Ramsey, Essex.

An awful lot has been written about public libraries, how they are at the centre of our communities, how they offer free books, how they provide free internet access and many other services. You know what, it is all true, but there is another temple of the book which is sometimes forgotten...

These photos are from when we were filming for our video on the Church of England.

We were lucky enough to be able to interview Dr David Ison, the Dean of St Paul's who is probably one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Look out for the video in the coming weeks!

We're getting ready to film the interview for our Church of England video tomorrow. Photo will be up next week.

Starting to get a little nervous...

We've had feedback from teachers that our Justice video isn't loud enough to play to a classroom full of rowdy teenagers. 

So we've turned it up and uploaded our new louder version! Let us know if you experience similar problems with any of our other videos and we'll see what we can do.

How Does Britain Work? - 'Money'

We're very pleased to say that we have finished our video on the financial system! It covers the Bank of England, HM Treasury, Royal Mint and HM Revenue & Customs. 

Let us know if its useful!

We've got a new episode of How Does Britain Work which we'll post this afternoon. We're just making some final edits before we upload it. 

The point of the series is that the episodes are not in a particular order. If you want to only watch a video on how Parliament works then that's fine (although obviously I would prefer if you watched the whole series and then left lots of comments saying it was the best thing you had ever watched ever!) 

Therefore we are switching the releases of episodes 3 and 4 so we will post the finance video today. Don't worry, you'll still get to see our interview with Speaker Bercow but you'll have to wait a couple of days

I've got a very simple motto or approach to this, and that is if we as Parliament want to be respected by young people, we have to show some respect for young people. Respect is a two way street.

We have an important principle in this country of Open Justice so with some limited exceptions, the courts are open to the public to walk in

Here is another glimpse of episode 3...

Still from ep 3 of How Does Britain Work (we've almost finished editing it)

We've created playlists for Lily's Language Lessons so that if you are feeling in a very French mood you can watch all 10 at once! They are also quite good if you just want to laugh at all of Lys' daft antics. Enjoy!

It's here! We are very proud to at last be able to show you our video on the UK Justice System. In this video we were lucky enough to interview Mr Justice Morgan of the High Court and Mr Ben Wilson of the UK Supreme Court. Both willingly offered their time for which we are very grateful. 

Hope you like it!
