Could learning to live like the average German help Britain obtain more success economically? That's the experiment a British family undertook in a new BBC TV program "Make me a German." So how did they fare?
As the economic crisis deepens, there is one country in Europe which stands out: Germany. It consistently outperforms its neighbors economically and is being held up as a model that we should all emulate. Britain, still sailing through the doldrums of minor growth, and not really out of the shadow of recession, has been busy comparing itself to Germany, wondering how whilst British manufacturing has declined, Germany's has soared.

'We need to become more Germanic'

The Prime Minister David Cameron, on a visit to a British factory this year was famously quoted as saying "we all need to become a bit more Germanic" in our way of doing things. It was this kind of belief, which has helped fuel the ideas behind a new BBC TV series looking at Europe's largest economy, Germany.
