Dear England review: Hugely watchable account of one man’s effort to reverse World Cup woes

Dear England review: Hugely watchable account of one man’s effort to reverse World Cup woes

Dear England (BBC One) stars Joseph Fiennes as Gareth Southgate, dramatising three England tournament exits — Euro '96, WC 2018 and Euro 2020 — through James Graham's stage adaptation. The series uses football as a post-Brexit identity lens and is largely watchable, but stops short of a clear verdict on what Southgate's tenure actually changed.
