Terry Jones’ Great Map Mystery

I can’t really think of anything to say about this one. It’s just a really interesting bit of pop history presented by super-jolly, always-interested Terry Jones (who comes from Colwyn Bay). Also, as far as I can tell, it only went out in Wales, so I’m doing good by spreading the word to foreigners. Here’s what it says on the show’s page at /programmes:

Terry Jones sets out on a series of journeys through Wales following the world’s first road atlas: John Ogilby’s Britannia, published in 1675. On the way to St David’s, Terry discovers that this was never a road at all. The mystery deepens as dark forces behind the making of the map are revealed.
