This BBC documentary is split into two episodes. Episode 1 concentrates on London, and all its sucesses and glamours and its power to suck resources from around the country up North and the world; Episode 2 concentrates on the rest of English cities, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool and their struggle to compete for the limited resources and cash and talent against London after the de-industralisation since the second half of Twentieth century. Overall it is an epic and well-balanced analysis of the current situations in Great Britain about its city economy and industry. An oaths to cities and great cities on how they succeed. And finally, typical to BBC documentaries, great background music.
