Hampstead Garden Suburb was founded at the turn of the century by Dame Henrietta Barnett, a Victorian philanthropist who dreamed of rehousing east London's poor in an area without class divisions. Tonight's programme looks at life in the suburb, highlighting the controversy surrounding the proposal to erect an eruv, an artificial boundary that must not be crossed by orthodox Jews on the Sabbath.

Omnibus 10.45pm BBC1
Oh dear, something very unpleasant and un-English is happening in the heart of suburbia. In the leafy haven of Hampstead Garden Suburb a social war of nerves is raging.
Almost 100 years ago the Victorian philanthropist Dame Henrietta Barnett set up the suburb so that "all classes could live in neighbourliness together". The reality would have Dame Henrietta revolving in her grave. Instead of all classes living in harmony, the suburb has become a staunch middle-class bastion riven by in-fighting, principally about the eruv - a notional boundary inside which orthodox Jews can relax the strict Sabbath laws.
Both pro- and anti-eruv activists are allowed their voices in this Omnibus look at Dame Henrietta's Dream, and much fun is had with the open theatre's production of Murder in the Cathedral paralleling the squabble over the touchy subject.
