I love this whole series but whoever did the music on this one should be fired and prohibited from working in the field of sound editing. Every time there's a new exterior we get some odd overdone music. It's distracting and lessons the impact of the narration.
Yet another example of the modern world that makes me think about The Greek stories of yesterday The man the wind the coat and the Sun, when I watched this in the 90s I was fully on board with the narrative That cohesion Was generated by a traditional English good Christian upbringing And not forced education, and now all these years later I find myself no longer in tune with the narrative wholeheartedly despite the constant blowing of the wind.
This should be about architecture, there many venues for the other subjects you wish to discuss, the matter of which I support, but this is about buildings and architecture
No, Pevsner is about buildings, full stop. All the other issues that have come back to us, are politics, a building is just that! The rest is for discussion elsewhere, and in my mind remain important.
Historically, Bristol has been part of both Somerset and Gloucestershire; the part of the city south of the river Avon was in Somerset and north of the Avon was in Gloucestershire. But it was established as its own county in 1373. It became part of Avon, which included parts of Somerset, in 1974.
@@lucym5163 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_corporate In 1373 Bristol was given 'county corporate' status which basically meant it was autonomous in its own affairs (like the later 'county boroughs') but it remained part of the shire county of Gloucestershire The river Avon was the historic boundary, not only between Gloucestershire and Somerset but also between Wessex and Mercia With Bristol's expansion many areas originally in Somerset were swallowed up by the county corporate (later county borough) of Bristol, at the same time these areas were also (by extension) swallowed up by Gloucestershire
Wokeness? What a ridiculous word for an adult to use. It’s called history. If you don’t like it don’t watch. Rather fragile temperament if this is what upsets you.
Some people just can’t help but piss in their own bed and then try to get the rest of us to sleep in it. Three minutes in and it’s misery guys time. I wasn’t there. So I feel no guilt. All I can do is live my life. You live yours. Moving on now. As you should too.
Why would you or should you feel guilt? It’s history and a historian talking about. Very odd to get upset by it all, were you involved in the slave trade?
She’s talking about the history associated with the area. I’d hardly say she’s outraged, it’s almost as if she’s documenting the history of an area, in a documentary. The only confected outrage I see is the fuddy duddy loudmouths in this comment section. How embarrassing for you all.
Sorry, back again, this is about buildings only, full stop. Worst use of a Pevsner book ever. It’s about buildings! All the other issues, all of which I value and support have venues elsewhere.
Facinating show with a brilliant presenter.
Thank you for the up load , you've just done your bit for the artistic fabric of this country.
Good doc, cheers

Spot on.
Really this should be about the buildings!
It is?

Do you have North Yorkshire with Janet Street Porter? :)

It is. And the history associated with them.

Bristol was before 1974 a county
borough within Gloucestershire
Never has it ever been within Somerset

More Pevsner, please, and less wokeness.
Really did enjoy the architecture & the landscape.
I couldn’t agree more

Typical bbc had to turn off , that woke privileged little madam was so irritating, what she knows about Bristol I could write on a stamp
I lasted 5 minute before thinking " another woke academic that views the world though race." How uninteresting and narrow.
It’s one angle of a the history of an area. Don’t like it turn over. Some people are so fragile honestly.
This was made in 1995
1.34 "blah blah slaves" - down vote goodbye!
These fragile types really do riddle the comment sections of social media. Do be quiet will you. You’ll thank me when you grow up a little.
