    This is a quirky and unusual take on British architectural history by climbing the exteriors and in some cases interiors of Durham Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral, Caernarfon Castle, New College, Oxford, Layer Marney Tower, Burghley House, St Paul's Cathedral, Blenheim Palace, Clifton Suspension Bridge, St Pancras Railway Station and Midland Hotel, Glasgow School of Art, Royal Liver Building, Coventry Cathedral, Lloyd's Building, and Imperial War Museum North.It's a very close-up view of building design, construction and materials.And there are much, much worse cultural documentaries and hosts out there with MUCH higher ratings! (See anything with the truly ghastly Dan Cruikshank, for example.)
