The Future in Our Past tells the remarkable story of Britain's only ever General Strike on its centenary. It is an on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England. They compare the struggles of 1926 with those of workers in these same communities today. We meet a Bangladeshi courier involved in wildcat strikes on the Isle of Dogs. The great grandson of a Welsh miner facing redundancy at the blast furnaces of Port Talbot. This is social history at its most immediate and relevant. Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. But for socialists, dreams of a brighter future would have to wait. Cant and Matthew Lee ask why this monumental standoff ended in defeat for the unions despite their huge mobilisation. They set out why the General Strike still matters and the lessons it has for us.

Lew Grade's pioneering ITC company created a production line of quirky new drama series for British Independent Television in the 1960s, fulfilling a vision of providing entertaining, colour film series for a global market. In the first of a proposed series of critical guides, Avengers expert Rodney Marshall and television historian Matthew Lee explore ITC's Man in a Suitcase. Their book offers new, inventive readings of all thirty episodes. Man in a Suitcase is a product of its mid-1960s context, exploring themes such as Cold War espionage and Swinging Sixties playgirls, yet most of the stories also have a timeless feel to them: political corruption, blackmail, murder, missing persons or money, art theft. Despite the private detective/bounty hunter formula, there are welcome elements of playfulness, quirkiness, surrealism and a healthy abundance of social and political critique. Man in a Suitcase cannot be simplistically labelled as 'light entertainment' given the dark subject matter and its treatment. It blurs the boundaries between television drama genres." A product of its time and a timeless product: Man in a Suitcase will always be a conundrum." (Matthew Lee)
