In 1953 the Queen set off on a 6-month world tour. This was a royal charm offensive to persuade countries seeking their independence from the Empire that Britain was worth staying attached to, in the form of the Commonwealth. Over half a century later, actor and playwright Kwame Kewi-Armah retraces her journey. Through his encounters he finds out what the tour meant then and now. It's the story of how the end of the Empire changed the colonies and how the loss of the colonies changed Britain.
