The third programme of a six-part series follows the life of Robin Merril , ex-singer with the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, now a DJ in Berlin. The city is losing its unique "siege" character and, to the dismay of residents, is fast becoming just another city. Robin meets old cynics and young enthusiasts to find out just how Berlin is changing as a place to live and work, and is vehement about his own reasons for choosing the city as a place to bring up a family. Presented by David Lodge.
