Utopia: In Search of the Dream

BBC FOUR, 9.00PM

 Professor Richard Clay looks at some of the greatest utopian dreamers, including Thomas More, who coined the term, Gulliver’s Travels author Jonathan Swift and

Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. He builds an argument that utopian visions have been a powerful way of criticising the present and travels to America to encounter communities experimenting for a greater meaning in life. RW
