Michael Gilbert returns to present Part 3 of his trilogy - The Perfect Playground.  The Crystal Palace was surrounded by 200 acres of parkland.  Its landscape included thousands of water features.  Its life-sized models of prehistoric animals and large-scale events, festivals and sporting fixtures attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors.  Today the future of the site is still under debate.
