For a large part of the 30-minute travel show, there was no way of knowing. The camera took us along with a dreadlock-sporting journalist, giving us the low-down on William Shakespeare’s centenary celebrations across Great Britain. Our affable host was able to make the subject light and fun without sounding frivolous; it had the right dose of engagement and wit, and yet it didn’t come across as off-putting. We were hooked.

As he ended the first capsule and readied for another segment, suddenly, the camera panned out; he was on a wheelchair on a sidewalk in London sharing a byte of history about the next stopover. For half a second, the sight took us by surprise. This was followed by admiration for the manner in which the packaging of the show, and the reporter himself got on with their job, as if there was nothing special or unique to this particular broadcast and its host-reporter.
