Series Summary Kevin McCloud

An invaluable litmus test of public opinion about our built environment, the nominations ¿ as voted for by Channel 4 viewers - for the worst buildings in the country form the basis of a new four-part series that investigates how Britain came to be littered with eyesores and explores what we can do about it.

Kevin McCloud is joined by architect and former president of RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) George Ferguson, who's not afraid to admit that architects make mistakes, and by Janet Street-Porter, who tackles the planners and developers.
