| Summary: | There are many ways that 16- to 29-year-olds search for and carve out an identity for themselves in Britain now. This programme deals with the conflicting pressures that bear down upon these Tribes - family, religion, class, race, gender, consumerism and technology. John Perry has finished burning all the tread off the tyres of his Dad's Clio while doing an eight-minute 'burn-out'. The boy-racers of Essex declare their manhood with car-parts, fast driving and petty law-infringements. Becs are the group of up-market North London Jewish girls who live for clothes, hair and make-up. They're competitive, status-conscious and sometimes bitchy, but the close friendships within the group conquer all - until they fall out spectacularly during a summer holiday in Cyprus.
