The catalogue in 3D

Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Britain's Finest is a TV documentary series made by independent production company Lion Television, now part of All3Media for Channel 5 in the UK. The eight 90-minute series, split into two separate series of four episodes, the first in 2003 and the second in 2005, focuses on a wide range of Britain's finest things, from buildings to gardens, actors to natural wonders, as voted for by Channel 5 viewers and Radio Times readers. Each episode has a lead presenter and includes a variety of additional specialists. The publicity generated for some of the visitor attractions featured, such as stately homes, led to an increase in visitor numbers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
