Episode 2 of 3

Duration: 1 hour

The second part in this evocative series about Britain's motorways explores how they have transformed where we live, work and play in Britain over the last 50 years. From glamorous early service stations to contemporary shopping centres with the infrastructure of a small town, this film is a journey through the wonderful, and the weird, places motorways have taken us.

Contributors include seminal planner Sir Peter Hall, author Will Self, caravanners, hitchhikers and commuters, discussing our eagerness to accelerate down the slip road and the social changes that have followed.
