Series: Bollocks to Alton Towers

A hilarious and charming search for the country's most charming and eccentric days out.

The British Lawnmower Museum, Keith Harding's World of Mechanical Music and Mad Jack's Sugar Loaf.

In a world of theme parks, interactive exhibits, over-priced merchandise and queues, don't worry, these are names to stir the soul.

Reassuring evidence that there's still somewhere to turn in search of the small, fascinating, unique and, dammit, British.

In a stumbling journey across the country in search of the best we have to offer our intrepid heroes discovered dinosaurs in South London, a cold war castle in Essex, grown men pretending to be warships in Scarborough, unexplained tunnels under Liverpool and a terraced house in Bedford being kept warm for Jesus's return.

And along the way they met the people behind them all- enthusiasts, eccentrics and, you know, those who just sort of fell into looking after a vast collection of gnomes ...

Makes you proud!
