Celebrated photographer Martin Parr travels around England during the summer of 1998, armed with a DV camera and a mission to define 'Englishness' through the nation's subjects.
Shown as part of the BBC's Modern Times series. Think of England shows Parr talking to the many people he encountered in the summer of 1999. He innocently asked people what it took to be English, and this simple question provided many revealing answers.
