A Pattern of Building Written and presented by Alec Clifton-Taylor 1: Chichester, Sussex
' The cathedral apart, brick and flint are what give Chichester its essential character; the right materials in the right place.'
England has more unspoilt towns than any country in the world. In this series, the architectural historian ALEC CLIFTON-TAYLOR has made a personal choice of six, based not so much on the historical appeal of a fine cathedral, a castle or a church but the range and quality of the ordinary domestic houses and the use made of the traditional building materials of England.
At Chichester the local stone was flint; the Romans used it for the city walls, and it is still being used today. The cathedral is mainly built of imported limestone from Caen in Normandy, while the Georgian houses with their fan-lights and doorways -'Chichester's special delight' - are built from some of the finest brick in the country. All in all, ' a perfect pattern of English building'.
A real eye-opener - in the literal sense

The Cruise Missile -Not for
Public Debate Presented by Eric Robson
How do you feel about the idea of a nuclear missile being deployed in a lay-by near your home, particularly if the enemy knows about it before you do?
Defence has always been a world where decisions are taken in the darkest corridors of power. Public debate has been of little consequence. Any protest movement has invariably been tarnished with a 'fringe' or 'leftish' label. Yet today, in East Anglia, small groups of ordinary people are demanding the right to discuss openly just what military planning might mean for our future. Are they wasting their time?
On film, a report on these grass roots protesters, and what they hope to achieve.
Live in the studio, the arguments for secrecy in national security.
