An aerial anthology - film, poetry, and music of England - with the Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman. A look from the air at England through the seasons of the year. From the cliffs of Cornwall to the Farne Islands, from Castle Howard to Harlow New Town - this is a land of wild uplands and tamed suburbia, of rural solitude and seaside holiday camps, of industrial chimneys and landscaped gardens, of Roman walls, Georgian canals, steam engines and motorways.
To accompany the pictures Sir John Betjeman has chosen verse from the English poets, ranging from Shakespeare to Philip Larkin, linked with his own commentary. Voices Michael Hordern, Richard Pasco, Prunella Scales, Janet Suzman
