Why do the Brits get all the
good TV?
The series will conclude with a kind of real-time architectural snuff movie - the live broadcast of the demolition of the building which the judges have condemned.
Condemned because it is ugly, that is. I have a feeling Buckingham Palace will not be nominated for this honor, although
some of the peasants are calling for just that -- and I'm guessing they secretly hope HRH is still inside when it goes down. And then there's this bit of class hatred:
There is a new housing development to the north of Bristol on Stoke Park. Previously open farmland, the remains of which is now a "feature" for the people who live on the development. i don't know what it's called, it's not on the A-Z, but it is made up of mock-Georgian mock-houses without any detail. There are identikit lawns, identikit executive cars in the drives. That's my nomination. Yes, the whole lot. It destroys your life to see it. I don't know about the residents. I guess they are lizards or something
