Talk of the town

It is not quite what we had in mind when the BBC announced they are making a series on Utopian ideas of architecture and culture.

Because BBC4 is devoting an hour to a documentary on... Milton Keynes.

The three-parter Utopia: In Search of the Dream sounds interesting, with architects discussing visionary designs.

The film will also investigate if the Buckinghamshire town is a soulless place or a Utopian dream as it turns 50.

If you don’t want to watch the programme, we would be pretty confident of the answer: soulless.
