Ian Hislop's Changing of the Bard

Ian Hislop's Changing of the Bard 2009 Directed by Sally Benton , Claire Lewis

Ian Hislop takes an amused look at one of the most peculiar offices in the British establishment, that of Poet Laureate. Its 341-year history produces a gloriously eccentric picture of who we are, how we are ruled, what we want to say about ourselves and just how hard it is to do that in verse.
