One of the most famous bibliographic references of all time, George Bradshaw's Guide to the Continental Railway, serves as the guidebook for this documentary series. A total of five episodes will showcase the different European routes covered in this guide, published in 1913, which marked a turning point for British tourists during the Edwardian era. Gleaming cosmopolitan cities, alpine landscapes, warm, sparkling seas, and picturesque villages are some of the places Bradshaw describes in his book, known precisely for sparking an interest among English citizens in the exoticism of foreign travel.
