The Swedish Ambassador’s Guide To Britain

Nicola Clase, Swedish Ambassador to the UK for six years until 2016, is fascinated by the British mindset and, unusually for a diplomat, goes out to meet ordinary people in an attempt to understand it better.

She travels to all four countries in the UK, talking to farmers, postmen, writers and to some about to adopt British citizenship for the very first time.

This programme follows the success of A Swedish Ambassador’s Guide to Eurovision, in which she revealed some of the diplomatic games that lie behind the voting in the continent’s most glitzy musical event.

Produced by Philip Reevell and Jo Fidgen for BBC World Service.
