with Patrick Nuttgens.
How well are we housed? A series of six films explore why housing the nation has been, and continues to be, a battle.
1: The Trouble with Housing A house may last for decades or even centuries, but what people want from one changes much more quickly. The Home Front investigates housing through architecture, planning and people.
Tonight's film looks, in the light of 100 years of housing legislation, at success in Newcastle, disaster in Manchester and opulence on the banks of the Thames. Patrick Nuttgens meets council tenants staging a sit-in for better conditions; the homeless, living in tents rather than houses and the owners of luxury apartments bought in what, only a few years ago, was slum property.
