Four with Betjeman: Victorian Architects and Architecture

on BBC Two England

"Steam and gas, and electricity, crime and grime and industry, but out of it all came, thank goodness, Architecture - public buildings, big houses for industrialists and garden suburbs."

In the third of four programmes Sir John Betjeman looks at the work of Alfred Waterhouse and Norman Shaw.

"I find it more interesting to have my eyes opened to the beauties of buildings I normally take for granted, like Scotland Yard and the houses in Bedford Park, than to be told about buildings of traditional architectural beauty like Notre Dame." (Daily Mail)
