People's Palaces: The Golden Age of Civic Architecture :
Episode 2/2 The Gothic Revival.
First broadcast: 13 Sep 2010.
Architectural historian Dr Jonathan Foyle visits some of the best neo-gothic Victorian civic buildings in the north of England. Pointed arches, spires and clustered columns proliferate on churches and cathedrals, town halls and libraries, as gothic moves from the sacred to the secular through the 19th century and becomes the north's civic style of choice.

This second part of the documentary has been a true discovery for me. Two remarkable features: the music and the cameraman's work. Congratulations.

Been looking for a doc on Victorian gothic thanks so much for posting I thought it was beautifully done.

Enjoy Jonathan Foyle’s presentations. ( I also recommend presentations by Simon Thurley and Dan Cruickshank ). If you like architecture and its history. Xx

Any other younger architecture presenters you know of? I know that the architects *George Clarke* and *Kevin McCloud* have been in *Bradford* looking around *Bradford's* buildings in TV shows, along with other people like the designer *Linda Barker,* the athlete *Colin Jackson,* the politician *Michael Portillo,* and the chef *David Meyers* among others. However I'm pretty sure there's another architect, who looked to be in his 40's, who also filmed a TV show in *Bradford City Hall,* roughly 5 years ago. I know this because one of *Bradford's* many council, museum or park *Facebook* pages posted a photo of him looking around the cells of *Bradford Police Museum's* cells, which are in the basement of *Bradford City Hall,* and I'm pretty sure they said it was for a TV show. I'll probably find out who he is, and what the show was eventually, but that will be when I search through every single photo those pages have ever posted.
