  • "John Betjeman was that rare combination: an aesthete and a popular celebrity, who became a national treasure. From the mid 1950s to the 1970s he questioned the mood of rapid modernisation, producing thoughtful and intimate television films that focused the nation's gaze on a vanishing world of beauty. This collection offers a complete gazetteer to Betjeman country: one that shows England's greatest topologist addressing the television public. Whether looking at a Victorian church, a seaside guesthouse or a deserted railway station in miles of empty meadowland, he captures the vital importance of the unregarded."
