His name is Dover.

That was Audrey Hepburn playing Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady,
a musical based on the 1913 play Pygmalion written by one of the LSE founders George Bernard Shaw.
In the musical, the character Henry Higgins, a pompous phonetics professor,
makes a bet that he can transform Eliza from a cockney working-class flower girl into a member of English high society by giving her speech lessons.
The scene we've just heard and others show a number of comic blunders that Eliza makes as part of Higgins' Let's Face It!
misogynistic and classist project to make her a lady.
While the musical was set in Edwardian London,
does it still reflect how we wear and reveal our social class in English society today?
