Its in a series called "Jonathan Meades: Abroad Again" and the BBC2 website says:
Britain is the most overcrowded of European nations: as a result, we fled in search of rural utopias called garden cities of which Letchworth was the first. A social experiment, its legacy is Britain's ubiquitous, banal sprawl. Yet it all started so charmingly with naked dew-bathers, vegetarian mystics and sandal-makers roaming through Hertfordshire clay fields.
If you've not seen Meades before think of a sort of high-brow Jeremy Clarkson who has developed an interest in architecture rather than cars.
I hasten to add that I am not in this one. However, if you catch CBBC's "Newsround" tomorrow...
Are you on Newsround again because your son lives in a tent?
ReplyDeleteThat's it!
ReplyDeleteChances are I'm not on this time, though he will be. Two hours filming for 1 minute (and 40 seconds) of coverage!
