The real Great Britain 

I noticed they ignored the north - how ignorant.

Why is this video revolved around London, Great Britain is more than just London CBS!!

you showed 1% of Britain

The second part of this nearly made me puke, the UK is not like america, america is a modern immigrant state and Britain in an ancient European kingdom and should always stay that way.

The United kingdom will never be East America, not a chance and they are happy the way they are for centuries. London is not the whole UK so stop being lazy and travel around the nation.

London is not the uk ! It has surrendered itself to foreigners! I was born there but I don't recognise it now !

4:90 'We haven't been so good at representing our ethnic diversity' Britain is a diverse country but the fact is we are still majority white And a statement like that needs some sort of basis or quantification. What is the proportion of BME representation in the arts in accordance with the demographics of different groups? I fully support BME people having opportunities, but not box-ticking to suit identity politics lobbies You could never have an ethnic quota on something like Downton Abbey because it simply wouldn't be realistic Or let's say, a period drama.... could a black or Asian woman realistically play Queen Elizabeth I ? No, because no matter how good an actress she is, Queen Elizabeth I was a real historic person and was neither black or Asian. That is not racist- it is just the need to be authentic.

Come outside of London if you wanna see Britain like Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Norwich, Nottingham, Cardiff, Swansea, Plymouth, Newcastle list goes on

Why don’t you leave the BBC to talk about the Uk. London is not the only place in the uk. Maybe you should go somewhere other than one place. This is not a representation of the Uk.

Excuse me if I cry a tear for the wealthy to make do while the rest of us work all our lives just to get by.

We colonised America, the 13 white lines on the American flag represent the 13 British colonies that gained independence. America speaks our language, kinda and a huge amount of Americans have British ancestry. We have clan names that go back centuries that are still in existence today.

You're conflating Britain with England trust me Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are different with there own identity thank you very much

I don't understand the fascination

Sorry folks this isn't the real Britain. It's just small parts of what Britain is. As usual it's too london centric (yes london is important i know but so many interfaces with different cultural influences from all over, which includes immigrants, from Anglo saxons, to Danish and Norwegian vikings, hugenots, jews,irish, Chinese and more recent from former colonies and the E.C. More disappointing than the shallow program though are some of the comments.

For the REAL Britain, watch Benefit Street

Thank you..

Mentioning French Huguenots as an example of significant migration is ridiculous. Only an estimated 40-50,000 came here across the 16, 17th and 18th Centuries. In one thousand years of history before the Second World War migration to Britain was demographically insignificant. In 1997, net migration was 48,000, it almost trebled to 140,000 by 1998. Between 1997 and 2010 - the New Labour Party years, migration averaged 200,000. Neither Simon Schama or that woman at the end have to, or would choose to, live in a street where 50-60 % of the people were like the comic.

we are Republic of Indonesia so Proud present this Universe. God Bless all of the people around the World

I have to do this for my 5th grade thx for ur help I'll write everything

US news formula: OK we gotta report on another place in the world, let's find some cliches.

the history of england is very interesting... 👍👍 say hello from indonesia

Very nice..

Thx nice vedio!

God Bless the special relationship between the UK & the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Yep. Real shame what happened to my country.

I am British, this video is ridiculous

There is no country called Great Britain, there never was, Great Britain and the United Kingdom are different things

The "real Britain is residents going about their daily life. I'm still on my worldwide travels but returned to Britain in May, having a great time and seeing beautiful places that rival those in other countries. Who, for instance, would think that there is a world-class beach in Wales. Check out Rhossily. I have included it in my newest video, as well as Dan yr Ogof Caves, another popular location, and a few touristic parts of London. You can view it here if interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZiFrQXvVwHA.html

They need to go Brixton

Head up north to Manchester. That’s the real Great Britain

My favorite country.

1:25 it is not a hat

Britain is a separate state of the USA?

Head up north, London not england sadly.

English independence is a must demand a referendum now

If you speak to Simon Schama, do him the courtesy of letting him speak for himself.

Well the Ireland was apart of Britian in the Union of great Britain and Ireland so technically the Irish cant be call immigrants.

i wish i was british

It's all from our money

Hi I am Dilip Kumar from India. I want to visit Landan , can you help me mam

GREAT Britain no more gone to the dogs

the real great Britain presented by a load of Americans that wernt even born or brought up in the country makes sense

This is england not Britain

All I'm hearing are a bunch of Americans just half criticizing the UK

Anglo saxons have pretty much been the majority in England for 1500 years. Liberals trying to revise history. Britain has never been a country of immigrants. It had very small amount immigration before the turn of this century.

A cc rents

After Britain lose Control over India, the empire start loosing it's power over other Colonies and the sun set on the british empire... I love my India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️ Jai Hind...🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️

You haf to pay for hpuse

you failed to look at the real britain, whats wrong woth leaving london and going to devon, yorkshire or scotland !

Britain has not experienced immigration. It’s experiencing invasion. A totally different thing altogether. A immigrant is someone who wishes to adapt to and identify with the existing people and culture. An invader is someone who makes the resident people adapt to them. And that’s what most of the people coming here insist upon. And all the talk about Britain always being a place of immigration is just plain lying, although perhaps many of those people making that claim are more mentally defective than liars. They do seem stupid. The fact is, all those supposedly different races who came here after the Romans left were all from an area of northern a Europe no bigger than an average American state. Britain was a normal Northern European country until recent times. Even after 70 years of so-called “immigration” black and Asian people do not integrate, assimilate or identify with Britain, its people or its culture. And when any celebration of Britain occurs, there is hardly a black or Asian face to be seen. Let’s tell the truth for a change. Britain has been and is being invaded by people who share few of our values and will never, ever identify with this country, its people or its culture.

Hold that comedian has no idea what he’s talking about

The froud British

Americans seem obsessed with the British aristocracy. I read a book a couple of years ago by a New York Times reporter about the English. Unfortunately, the writer spent most of her time interviewing aristocrats. Her picture of modern Britain was completely wrong. How many Americans have met a Vanderbilt?

Built on Indian wealth

Salute my India love my India Hindustan zindabad

CBS has really done it's homework ;)

Royality is so ridiculous. I get that its tradition but it seems so petty and stupid.

Not bad for you American's trying to find how the Great Britain is?

Went there a few weekends ago and this report is spot on---at least when it comes to London. Seeing as 1 out of every 6 Brits is a Londoner, that's pretty darn significant.

i'm french & i tried england for vacations; i must say, i find england quite third-world. would never want 2 live there. we take things for granted here, but despite the crisis; i feel so lucky 2 live in france.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

You might want to mention the wealth and industrialisation built on slaughter and slavery. When my parents came to the UK they were simply following the wealth created by their ancestors.

I love the 51st state

It hasn't been "great" for a while already and will shortly be even less so after Scotland finally breaks free. But when it was, it was.

London is a great city
