Earlier today I watched Life is Toff, the beebs new comedy about an old aristocratic family in Devon. I know its a mocumentarry, and supposed to be fiction, but I find myself getting very aggitated by it. The characters are all so arrogant; they act as if they deserve to be rich and look down upon the rest of us, and aren’t just there through accident of birth. It seems, fiction or not, the Marxist in me cannot be silenced. I suspect, though, that we are supposed to get angry, so the question you have to ask – as no doubt many critics on the right will ask – is, is this an attempt by the BBC to incite some kind of class war?
