  • Cut MK some slack.MK is far better place to live than Birmingham or luton. .many business headquarters=thousands of jobs, the grid system is beneficial). Most places are nice some are not, name one town that does not have a rough part. No nightlife I admit. w/e you say it'fs not a concrete jungle.. trees andgrass everywhere! "oh noo there's too many chavs and too much concrete, ahhh minority's and council flats, what are we gonna doooo!?!?! You live in England people, deal with it

  • @mytime103 There's a few dotted about actually, there's a big unused government nuclear bunker left unused somewhere on the outskirts

  • I'm from Milton Keynes well Newport pagnell

  • What i want to know is are there any bunkers under MK

  • last time i went to milton keynes...i would go to this pub that served bombadier...and there was a dog you could buy pints for.... i forget his name...BRUCE...that is his name..and they have this cross dresser that likes to tease you at night..i was hoping it was a girl..but i think it was a guy..who was following me..jumping out the car..smacking his or her own ass..then as i came forward would jump into the car and drive forward again... i hope it was a girl...

  • Soulless concrete shithole the argument against town planners in a nutshell.

    Highest concentration of "single mothers" in the country (It's the only way to get a council flat)

    Some older areas such as bletchley and, in particular, wolverton becoming increacingly Islamified.

    Large numbers of immigrants and chavs in areas surounding the "city" centre.

    Come to think of it, It's pretty much like the rest of the country but with more roundabouts and car parks.

  • milton keynes is a shit whole. i know because i live here

  • @OrangeLightUk well its all right is just the people.

  • MK is simply the worst TOWN in the country.Its full of stuck up wannabee Londoners who think there a "class above" the rest of the country.They stole a football team,were only formed in the 1960s and also truly believe that there TOWN is a city.FAKE PEOPLE,FAKE TOWN with no soul.

  • @rufcdean I am from Milton Kenyes... I agree

  • Give us back our countryside, our villages and small towns.

  • I live here. From a street/teenage perspective, this place is a shit hole and rough as fuck. I would seriously leave at the first opportunity. The Police don't do fuck all and the council are fucking terrible. Dont knock this comment, im just saying how it is from my perspective and a kid growing up in MK.

  • Plenty of people knock Milton Keynes, most of them are too young to appreciate it or don't live there. Spending half my life driving to different parts of the country makes me appreciate the grid system. Being able to go for a 5 mile walk from my house and only having to cross one road (the one I live on) to do so, makes me appreciate how unlike a city it is. It also has all the modern conveniences. compare it to the two closest big towns Bedford and Northampton and it is far, far better.

  • Milton Keynes is not a city and will never be, the layout is ridiculous and if you dont drive you basically will struggle to get around due to the very poor and over priced bus service that is run there. The place was only ever built as on overspill city for London and Birmingham, and that unfortunately will all it will ever be.

  • @1982aaron Of course it has the best bicycle network of any place in the country (for you non-drivers). It also has the best road layout of any place of a similar size in the country. Try driving through any other place during the daytime and see the difference. I doubt there is much commuting to Birmingham. London is a different matter but that is true of any place within 60 miles of London.

    Milton Keynes is also a centre of innovation and business why so many companies are based there.

  • MK13 BC CREW,EGC

  • This is considarbly dated now. The Hub isn't there and still, the buses are crap

  • Milton Keynes is a shithole,they think they are a city,which they are not.

    Everyone there is a selfish git.Trust me stay away from there,the TOWN,and the majority of people that live there,are usless.

    Sincerely,A person from Milton Keynes :)

  • Hey bro, could you tell me the name of the song at the start?

  • Its just boreing sorry

  • Miltin Keynes is such a nice place. I like the shoping mall there

  • Don't know about you bitches, but having lived in MK for 17 years, pretty much come to the conclusion it's bullshit. Give it 10 more years and it'll be as bad as London.

    MK8!

  • i have lived in milton keynes for a long time, im sorry but i fucking hate it, they dont do shit for me or the rest of us, i just wanna move back, they claim to be a city, they are a fucking town dude, and a shit one too, so boring!!! :'(

  • Mk5!!!!!!

  • mk is shite,pure shite :)

  • i used to work on the flower stalls near the m1,back in the eighties.anybody remember them?

  • WHY ARENT WE A CITY! " HE CRIES LOUDLY FOR 3445 DAYS AND COUNTING"

  • @shazam9989 Because Milton Keynes - Breeding ground for Chavs and council estate Gypo's.

    Why would we get honored for that?

  • milton keynes

  • I also live here in MK, way too many chavs though they all need to die

  • @bodygank dam lakes estates! chaz city!

  • @bodygank I blame fishermead...

  • Souless, cultureless, putrid oversized village, nice one for tryin to make it interesting though :P

  • @MannyFresh6 do u live in milton keynes

  • @shazam9989 currently I do indeed. wouldnt have posted if it wasnt from experience ;)

  • @MannyFresh6

    completely agree :)

  • I love living here:)

  • i live in MK

  • tbh i think the video is bit rubbishh ?? but Mk is amazingg !! love it x

  • I live in Milton Keynes :)

  • @CamCool10 Same lol x

  • MK is a very special place, it has made me love a city. I am away from you now, but I will come back, by hook or by crook I will come back!

  • mmmm.... no lakes estate, tinkers bridge or netherfield,,,, wonder why???

    used to live on tinkers bridge,,,, so i know why!!!! lol

  • @lonelywolf1966 We have loads of estates and we have 5 lakes I think....

  • Notice they dont show netherfield and fishermead.

  • Milton Keynes has a little brother!!! Honestly, Check out Drammen in Norway on You Tube the style of the two cities are so alike...

  • "Milton Keynes is unique for showing how man can live with nature in total harmony" - i like the way you've illustrated that point with footage of the oak tree we've managed to kill by building the extension to the centre around it!

  • Have to be honest, watching this back three years later, it is kind of laughable.

  • i live in mk i lov it x

  • mk ftw

  • I Live Here its Awesome Did You Know The City Centre is one Of The Biggest Shopping Centres/Malls EVER? (TRUE FACT) :P

  • KarrotKooker:

    Good For You! :(

  • MK is where i live :P

  • my name is milton!!haha

  • i lived in milton keynes for 10 years and my dad created and built the tv screen on the front of xscape

  • niice, well done, thats pretty good

  • MK14 - Conniburrow

    Nice vid.

    At 4:19 it's ironic saying MK can live in total harmony with nature while showing the tree in the shopping centre. It's sadly dying because of the man made extension.

  • this takes the best things from MK and prooves its a really great place to be.

    thanks for making this vid.

  • I've benn lived in campbell park for one year, i like the place,

  • mk2 lakes estate!

  • Whaddon Way, Bletchley

  • love milton keynes, i lived there for two years

  • MK is great! To find out what the live music scene is like check out my vids please!

    Great vid BTW!

  • I live In MK :)

  • Kents Hill!

    Btw how is it hard to get round MK?? There are road signs everywhere!

  • i used to live in stony

  • YEY! I love here

  • woot woot! i live here! walnut tree!

  • I know its not the point but the music was irritating.

    Would have liked more history. Would have liked to see residential areas, the suburbs and more urban areas - not just landmarks. A really good film. What facts that you were able to cram in the 5+ minutes was very informative. Well done.

  • I lived outside of MK from 1986-1989. As a young American, I thought it a great place whenever I was homesick for a bit of America. Fro a bit of a laugh, my ex-husband had an American sportscar parked there and forgot where he parked. Thanks to the security staff back in 1987, he found his American Yank Tank.

  • I LIVE THERE!

  • i live in newport pag :D

  • I used to live in Milton Keynes, but then I moved to America...I miss it :).

    No matter what people say, its amazing!

  • milton keynes is not crap it has alot of atmosphere n some good clubs thank you there are some lovely parts i happen to live there

  • I'm going there at Christmas Kathryn can you tell me what are the best clubs in MK? Where can you find the best nightlife?

  • certainly, there is revolution and oceana in the xscape building in the city centre plus moon under water. there is also buddha blue, lloyds and opus as well as a few others in the theatre district.

  • the london pride. lakes estate :)

  • My uncle owns that ferris wheel lol

  • Ha iv been on that wheel lol

  • Mind you, in some ways, it's SO bad it's almost good, like when the young nerd doing the commentary says, "You really get an impression of how big Milton Keynes is" as if it were New York or Tokyo.

  • Everybody searching for live footage of concerts in Milton Keynes Bowl gets directed to this video. I did too. And I agree with the rest of you: it really is crap!

  • Milton Keynes has lots of atmosphere thank you very much.

  • hld tyt milyon keynes on productionz

  • what???? lol i think the best bit of Milton keynes is the national bowl. anyone agree?

  • Ok. Well done but can you understand why you didn't win? The title is mis-leading. The odd, insecure sounding narrator is rather creepy. Ambiguous interviews. Wobbly, dark images from the top of the fair wheel give you no idea of scale at all. You've managed to portray this town as souless without even trying. The best bit were the pictures taken by other people towards the end. I'm SORRY for sounding harsh but as you said ' It'd be nice to hear all your thoughts.'

  • Agree with basicly everything you said. This was one of my first projects for college, it was a joint project and I'd be joking if I said I thought it was a brilliant film, because in the grand scheme of things, it isn't. It was rushed, it wasn't great and it needed more thought.

    The narrator was me and I had a cold, so my breathing was all over the shop, hence the "insecure" feel!

    Thankyou for you feedback.

  • This isn't really 'then' and now , wheres the pictures of mk in the 70's??? none, great

  • To Crazyboy, Milton Keynes is built around 3 old towns that have many years of history? so what are you talking about? every city is blend of old and new?

  • MILTON KEYNES SICK man (nt the vido)but the twon luv it............x

  • Then what do you think of the video exactly? It'd be nice to hear all your thoughts instead of just appreciation for Milton Keynes! ;)

  • i liv there right now.. but do u know stop-motion

  • I like Milton Keynes- it's the nearest thing Buckinghamshire's got to a city. Incidentally, has Milton Keynes applied for city status before? I think it has.

  • Milton keynes is rubbish you see the same faces and things all the time. its soooo boring

  • i dont live in milton keynes but the cousins do

  • MK es de puta madre!!

  • i used 2 be living in dis town... n i'll be honest... it is not so gd as u all (almost) saying.. it's like a dead town.. ghost town... dat is way i left it....

  • What are you on?

  • u don't want 2 know...

  • the mk eye isnt ther anymore :(

    && no one told me it was goingg!

    so oe day i was up city n it was gone! n i was lyke D:

    loll

    but mk is cool i guess :)

    im allways round campbell ark or by 'steps' :D

    loll coz im cool lyke that (Y)

  • Milton keynes is great. but the public bus service is shit!!

  • Ah, now on this, I agree with you!!! ;)

  • @underpantswedgy I 2's that..

  • they missed out newport pagnell that was here 40 years ago to!!

  • oh yh , i live in mk !

  • woooohh mk rocks my socks offffff

  • lol that tree was near death before they FINALLY worked out how to help it. it was dying coz of the pollution around it

  • Yeah, MK might be interesting but your voice is far from interesting.

  • Nuurgh! Your voice is far from interesting!

    :P

    (Jimmy Carr quotes will solve everything! lol)

  • Milton Keynes is great but in order for it to be a city we need some sort of cathedral, in my opinion. Anyone agree?

  • A city is an urban area with a large population and a particular administrative, legal, or historical status.

    WIKIPEDIA

  • maybe where you are from, but in the UK you either need a cathedral or apply to the queen to gain city status

  • actually..the law has changed. just need a uni now.

    we have one, and am building another one. (yes im in milton keynes).

    ...

    and we have large mosks and large churches.

    so the government said we'll almost certainly be a city in 2009 =)

  • I visited Milton Keynes in June while my dad was working there, and I really enjoyed the city. The people of MK should be proud of their city. In some ways it feels small, but in other ways it feels like a big city. I met some nice people there.

  • MK, born and bred ;)

  • hehe i love mk.... born here lived here love it!!!! magor shopping!!! :D wooop

  • MK is the best city ever!!!! i was born in miltonkeynes hospital! and raised up in a big wonderful house with my brothers, sisters and my mum and dad!

  • alots changed since this video was uploaded

  • i live there it owns

  • "MK eye" Taken down ages ago, tree that we are "in harmony with" is dying.

  • This is a great wee video, I was down there about 6 weeks ago visiting my friend.

    Yes its famous for the Cows & roundabouts, but there's more to it than that, Not only do the towns of Bletchley, Wolverton & Stoney Stratford still maintain their identity & character, theres a lot of thought put into the planning of the city & the green spaces, lakes & canals define the place for me. This place is moving in the right direction. I love Milton Keynes.

  • i live in mk and i love it...

  • I do like our city of roundabouts

  • MK rocks! Been here all my life and it has the best shopping in the world!! Love it!!!

  • looks like a ghost town where the ghosts are friendly

  • looks peaceful

  • yeah milton keynes is alright, lived ther all my life, ment to be a pretty good place to skate, and is

  • i live there it is the best town evvvvver

  • eeeeeeee -chanting- GO MK, GO MK, GO MK!!

  • nice one matt this a college project lol mail me man hows life?

  • milton keynes is the best.city.ever.

  • Funny how "most" people who have only ever lived in mk are the first to say it's rubbish. I've lived in a few cities and my home, mk has to be the best for many reasons, only problem with it is mk hospital, now that needs knocking down and rebuilding fresh with good staff. if it's not a great place to live for you that might have more to do with your social appetite, mk is for lively people.

  • Best city alive!

  • yer milton keynes i was born hear not tht great place to live but its one of the best so im proud to be born in mk

  • mk is fucking sick 2 skate

  • It's not bad. I live about 20 mins way and the last time I went there was about a year ago..If you travel off from the normal shopping center route you will find some rather unique architecture!

  • i have never decided on whether or not i like mk.. but as i havent left, i suppose i do! lol.. a good documentary, thank god you didnt show fishermead or the lakes tho!

  • LOVE MILTON KEYNES!!

    Helloooo have you not seen our shopping centre? :)

  • That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. Thanks for commenting.

  • i live in milton keyens and its great, so easy to navigate and great atmoshpeher all the time, just been to a light and laser show in there with fire and stuff, and a giant human mobile lol.

    great city/town, w/e it is

    =]

  • Hello, I was born in Milton Keynes & finally escaped it after 25yrs! It's not the best town going but I really enjoyed your video and it even made me feel a bit homesick!

  • Not too sure about the living with nature bit! All those lights, and the tree is only there because loads of hippys kicked up a fuss when they planned to cut it down

  • YES HIPPIES

    oh well, it still looks perdy.

    i love mk

    it rules

    mmhmm

    :)
