In this BBC Radio 4 series, Richard Herring attempts to reclaim objects that we've grown to fear and hate because of what they symbolise. Via stand-up comedy, vox pops and interviews, he tackles a selection of things that have been given a bad name - including the toothbrush moustache, the hoodie, Dolly the sheep and the St. George's Flag - and debates whether we should celebrate them, or consign them to the dustbin of history. Written and presented by Richard Herring. Produced by Tilusha Ghelani.
