About This Production
Based on the Shell Travel Guides which were handy glove compartment guides first published in the 1930s and covered nearly all the counties in the UK, Richard Wilson takes a driving tour around six counties (Derbyshire, Durham, Dorset, Essex, Devon and Oxfordshire) in his vintage Daimler, which he has christened “Deborah”. Using the recommendations in the guide, Richard explores and revisits some of the places, attractions and buildings listed to see how the county has changed in the years since the guides were written.
