Eye Hopes

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A visit to the London Eye reveals a site buzzing with excitement - it's clear this giant "bicycle wheel" designed by husband-and-wife team Julia Barfield and David Marks, has captured the popular imagination. In this programme passengers contemplate the stunning panorama and reflect on their relationships with the city, from Emma, the 89-year-old "spirit of the wheel", to performance poet John Agard who imagines what William Blake would have made of the view.
