It was OK, not brilliant. John Sergeant wanders around London trying to recreate old black and white photos from Francis Frith in the 19th century. He spends more time talking to people from the areas covered, rather than looking at the old photos. It will be on every night for two weeks, I think, and John will visit different parts of the UK, including Edinburgh.
