John Sergeant is returning to his roots as a tour guide in a brand new, three-part factual series for ITV1. ‘John Sergeant On The Tourist Trail’ follows him on a celebratory journey around Britain, where he meets tourists of all nationalities who visit the UK for a huge variety of reasons. John joins tourist parties on their visits to Britain and learns about the quirks of different nationalities as he ‘looks at them looking at us’.
John follows die-hard fans of The Beatles on a tour of John Lennon’s old house, joins the thousands of German bikers who travel to the Isle Of Man every year and meets an American family as they explore their Scottish ancestry at Edinburgh castle. He spends an afternoon punting along ‘The Backs’ of Cambridge, discovers what draws the Japanese to the Lake District and revisits his childhood home for the first time in 30 years. Over the course of three months, John travels all over the UK to find out why 32 millions tourists visit Britain every year. ‘John Sergeant On The Tourist Trail’ is brand new and exclusive to ITV1. Tuesdays from 10th November at 8pm. A Mentorn Production for ITV1.
