Six programmes on the present plight and future shape of town and country.
The first of two programmes on housing in the 70s. As far as housing goes, Britain is two nations - a nation of home-owners and a nation of council tenants. Does council housing, often provided in the form of big estates, satisfy both the tenants and the growing number of people who can't afford to buy a house?
Jeremy Bugler, The Observer's environment correspondent, in conversation with tenants of the Aylesbury Estate, Southwark. London; John Darbourne, architect; Eric Lyons, architect; Charles Sawyer, Chairman of the Housing Committee, Southwark. London; Colin Ward, author of "Tenants Take Over"
