Never seen any of this series but I thought I'd have a look. Must have clicked in the wrong place because, after registering, I ended up watching an episode about Huddersfield, Cologne and Morecambe. Which was good, because I've never been to Huddersfield or Morecambe (though I have been to Cologne and do remember the bridge, so good to now know its history).
