Pick of the Day
Britain's Housing Crisis: What Went Wrong? 9.00pm, BBC Two
The housing crisis in Ireland is not unique. Not that it makes it any better for us, of course. It just shows that there’s a pattern.
For decades, British politicians sold the dream of home ownership - but for millions, the reality is very different. Sounds familiar, eh?
People struggle to buy, and those lucky enough to own now face mortgage repayments among the highest in history, while a priced-out generation contends with record rents.
In the first of two special BBC programmes, key figures from the UK government, finance and campaigning reveal the roots of the housing crisis over there - and the decisions that led to this situation.
