Weather followed by Betjeman Metro-Land
Presented by the late Sir John Betjeman.
'Live in Metro-Land' was the slogan in the 1920s and 1930s. It meant buying a new detached or semi-detached house in the desirable residential suburbs built up alongside the Metropolitan Railway. 'The Met', the first steam underground in the world, had bought up the farmland as it journeyed out from London's Baker Street to farthest Bucks, and the houses and gardens it helped to build set the pattern for suburbia everywhere.
In this film Sir John takes a journey through Metro-Land in search of the poetry and variety of its architecture and activities.

Every two hours someone dies on the road; every two minutes someone is injured. These are shocking figures - or they should be. But we seem to accept 5,000 road deaths every year, while we are horrified by other transport disasters with much less loss of life, like Clapham or Lockerbie. The real tragedy is that most road casualties need not happen.

Technology, engineering and enforcement of the law could cut the carnage. Why are they not being used?

Horizon investigates a story of delay, complacency and bureaucratic muddle.
