What happens

How We Built Britain is a series of six television documentaries produced by the BBC in 2007 and repeated in 2008. The series was written and presented by broadcaster David Dimbleby. In the series Dimbleby visits some of Britain's great historic buildings and examined their impact on Britain's architectural and social history. The series was a follow-up to Dimbleby's 2005 BBC One series, A Picture of Britain, which celebrates British and Irish paintings, poetry, music, and landscapes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
