: Well, it was blimmin interesting. I even went to the (seve
: rly moderated) chat on the BBC website afterwards. It was
: difficult to talk, it's almost like the BBC had put on an
: extra e-Bouncer on the door,as if they expected the likes
: of me and Mick the merciless to turn up :0)
:
: Anyway, Dan Criuckshank said, he has permission from the B
: BC to film another architecture series, and he wants to co
: ncentrate on Military buildings. So, he's looking for idea
: s. Now, as he is a leading authority on classical architec
: ture, I felt that the Neo-Georgian look and feel of the ex
: pansion period RAF airfields, would be right up his strass
: e. I mean, for chri*ts sake, T2 hangars get him hot, and h
: e was gushing about Cranwells buildings.For our American c
: ousins, who don't know what Neo-Georgian means, it means "
: Class in abundance" or Old Virginia.

: So, you can e-mail him, cos we are not going to be using t
: he poxy official BBC link are we? No. so here's his e-mail
: addy at his day job......
