A Diary of Britain: 5: A New Lease of Life?

on BBC Two England

Fifteen documentary films about life in Britain made from September to Christmas last year.
Abbotsbury is part of a large private estate. The village has been architecturally preserved and is a tourist trap, complete with its world-famous swannery and villagers with gentle Dorset tongues. But increasingly the accents come from London and the Midlands as the estate leases cottages for expensive conversions, leaving local youngsters no choice but to move on. Narrator TONY SOPER
