The rest of this side of the cassette is the whole of the "Documenting Ourselves" programme about everyday life in 1930s Britian. It features Mass-Observation, founded by Humphrey Jennings, Charles Madge and Tom Harrison, for which volunteers compile a record of the thoughts and daily activities of ordinary people.
