Seasons & Episodes

  • 1

EP1 Hereford - Bourges (France) Apr 30, 1970

Hereford and Bourges are both ancient market towns surrounded by countryside which is characteristic of their two countries. The pressures of a changing, increasingly urbanised society has forced them both to adapt their traditional roles.

EP2 Newcastle - Aarhus (Denmark) May 07, 1970

Newcastle and Aarhus are both provincial centres. Yet they show, in their very different ways, that the provinces need not be a mere smudged carbon copy of the metropolis, and display a life style quite distinct from London or Copenhagen.

EP3 Oxford - Padua (Italy) May 14, 1970

Oxford and Padua are not only among Europe's most historic centres of learning. They are also part of the booming industrial complex of the new Europe. How far can they reconcile their traditional roles with the pressures of the 1970s?

EP4 Inverness - Lulea (Sweden) May 28, 1970

Inverness and Lulea are two of Europe's most northerly outposts. They face similar problems of geographical isolation and climate. Problems which offer the opportunity for exciting architectural solutions.

EP5 Barnsley - St Niklaas (Belgium) Jul 23, 1970

The North of England and Belgium share the same taste for chips and strong beer. They face the same problems of an industrial heritage and they have the same chance to create a lively and vigorous environment.

Reviews

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
