Will Self continues his 1000 mile tour of the UK by bus and coach, assessing a bold civic experiment in Preston.

Bus and coach windows afford Will a different perspective on the nation. He eschews the brights lights of the big cities, heading instead for smaller urban centres. His objective is to speak to Britons about how they view their cities and themselves in 2018. In the course of his enquiries, he discovers Britain has become a highly debatable land.

Today he stops off in Preston and visits a local mosque as well as assessing a bold civic experiment dubbed The Preston Model.

Also this week, Will visits Middlesbrough, East Kilbride and Derry-Londonderry, concluding his journey on the Irish border.

Producer: Laurence Grissell.
