After watching the programme, who can argue that the b.b.c. isn,t dumbing down British t.v. specially in the regions.
The programme spoke about Manchester as a good example of regeneration, but anyone who visits the city, will discover a place that says YES to every developement, and the result- one of the ugliest citys in Europe.
This true monster of modern Britain is a city of high unemployment, high crime, and a falling population. We are told that this redevelopement is fantastic, but there is only one thing going for Manchester, and that is shopping. So what...

Liverpool is so much more, shop if you want to, but the museums, art galleries, and just walking along the riverfront, are what makes our city the capital of the north.
Lloyd Grossman failled to point out that when Liverpool does develope, the result is some of the best architecture in Britain, and not the throw up that we see in London, for example.
Yes, I think there is much to be said for the slow developement that we all criticise Liverpool for. We can learn from the mistakes other cities have made
and do better.
Liverpool is the best example of a modern British city.
