Manmade Britain / The Land
S1, E2: In this second episode discover how towns grow organically rather than in an orderly fashion and how planners try to control that growth with greenbelts. Andrew Marr also looks down on our National parks to show how we go to extraordinary lengths to preserve them as artificial but beautiful playgrounds and how we use the most rugged landscape as the ultimate flight simulator for testing Britain’s most ferocious military hardware; the Eurofighter. Also includes 30 minutes of bonus material from the accompanying BBC2 programme, The Land.
