This is a very extensive documentary which looks at many aspects of the widespead perception that there is a decline in civility across society. However, there was a tension between the broader argument that the collapse in respect is society wide and the findings of the academics interviewed, which showed that better off are more trusting, better connected and more civil. It is among the very poor that these things have collapsed. This makes the Bishop's remarks that it is the sign of a broken society that he waves to his neighbours, but doesn't engage with them, seem misplaced.
