HOW WE BUILT BRITAIN WITH DAVID DIMBLEBY (2 discs, Subtitles, Cert E)

6 hrs. This landmark six-part BBC documentary series tells the dramatic story of Britain’s architecture. How did we get from the fortified tower to the grand open mansion and back again to the gated communities of today? How was the marketplace replaced by the out-of-town shopping mall? When did it become so important how libraries and prisons look? What does the layout of our city centres say about us? David Dimbleby reveals the answers to these questions and many more.
