The broadcast will feature interviews with model, actor, singer and 60s icon Twiggy, as well as Academy Award-winning actor Rachel Weisz.

Mark Phillips will look at how America’s view of Great Britain needs to be updated and reports that Britain in the 21st century looks a lot more like America – a multicultural melting pot.
