In this BBC Radio 4 series, Richard Herring attempts to reclaim objects that we've grown to fear and hate because of what they symbolise. Via stand-up comedy, vox pops and interviews, he tackles a selection of things that have been given a bad name. In this episode, he's trying to rescue the English National Flag from its associations with far-right extremists. Why do people have no idea when St George's Day is? And who is St George anyway? Richard asks a vexillologist (flag expert) about how flags have come to symbolise nations. He also talks to anthropologist Kate Fox - who has studied the behaviour of the English - about why the English are not natural flag-waving patriots.
