Designs on Britain

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

As voting closes for the Design Awards, another chance to see a two-part documentary on design and how it shapes the world we live in. 1: Design in a Cold Climate Britain has a vigorous worldwide tradition of design. In spite of that fact, at home, design just doesn't seem to be taken seriously. Until recently industry, designers, even government, haven't seen the need to get together. The price is economic and environmental failure. This first programme unravels the tangled story - the conflict, the rewards, the penalties - and asks: What is 'good design'? Who is to say? Why is it needed? Executive producer CHRISTOPHER MARTIN
Producer DAVID SWEETMAN (R)
(Part 2 on Wednesday at 4. 40 pm)
