Britain's 'worst building' to be demolished on TV
go to article

A cheeky adaptation of BBC's earlier successful series Restoration. The BBC series, which is in its second run this year, would feature various architectural conservation project plans over several weeks and allows television viewers to vote (aka Big Brother House) in the finale for that one "deserving" project to bring home the prize-money. In the process, viewers get to know more about the architectural heritage of Britain as a whole and be inspired to preserve it.

Turning the idea of preservation on its head, the rival television station Channel 4 aims to do its civic duty by targeting a building that is such an eye-sore that it will be demolished live on TV at the end of the series.
