Land of Heroes

Overview

John joins a host of foreign tourists who come to Britain to pay homage to our national heroes; from the Beatles to Sherlock Holmes. John takes a magical mystery tour around Liverpool, taking in John Lennon’s house and the inspiration for the song ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’. John then joins the Janneson family from Holland who are attending a festival in Nottingham to pay homage to Robin Hood. It’s the sixteenth year running that they have attended and they are playing for free as musicians at the festival, due to their love of the Robin Hood story. Sherlock Holmes attracts tourists from from France, Switzerland and Japan and John joins them for a murder mystery evening on Dartmoor, dressing for the part as ‘Doctor Mortimer’. And finally he becomes Mr Darcy for a group of American ladies who have travelled over to the UK to experience the world of Jane Austen.
