I absolutely love the pink poche' sections. Thanks my friends. As always, I am enjoying and learning with each episode. Great stuff

This is amazing - your understanding of, and insights into, this complex building that hasn't existed for 100 years have blown me away. I used to work at the Royal Pavilion, and a local VR modelling enthusiast was reconstructing the now-missing parts of the site from George IV's day. I wonder if he would tackle this challenge...

Another great series from Luke and George- I'm visiting the Soane museum soon, so this provided much of the backstory of the man and his work. I like your comments about how he was adept at 'fudging' but agree with you that this is a sign of the flexible, imaginative architect rather than one who has somehow failed- Palladio did something similar in his town houses, I believe. And your observation about constraint bringing out the best in Soane is spot on- too much licence and creativity dries up (eh Frankie Boyle?). A great three-parter.

Thanks so much Nicholas! We've got more episodes on Soane coming soon

McKim Mead and White were obviously fans.
