Dear Holmes fans

I am looking for Sherlock Holmes fans who might be coming to the UK this summer
for a TV show. The series is called John Sergeant's Tourist Trail and is for
prime-time broadcast on ITV in the UK and for world wide distribution. It will
be looking at why tourists come to the UK and what they like to see when they
get here. We want to find out what you think of our country and culture and why
you are passionate about something British.

If any of you are coming over around 18th May and 13th July this year or know
someone who is then do get in contact with me. I am including some information
about the tv series at the bottom of this email.

Many thanks for your time.

JOHN SERGEANT'S TOURIST TRAIL
3 X 1 hour prime-time series for ITV


Having hung up his dancing shoes, our newest national treasure John Sergeant
takes an entertaining celebratory journey around Britain by returning to his
roots as a tour guide. John will get a unique perspective of Britain by joining
different tourist parties who are experiencing Britain for the first time as he
`looks at them looking at us'.

Across this landmark series, John will visit Britain's most iconic tourist
destinations. We will get the `best of class' in each region of the UK combining
the familiar with the surprising. On John's tourist trail, he'll also visit the
quirkier destinations specific to different nationalities that are not found in
traditional guidebooks.

As well as meeting a host of tour guides, John will also meet the other Brits
who rely on the tourists for their jobs. From the souvenir sellers on Oxford
Street to the staff of the Loch Ness gift shop, we'll meet some great characters
and hear entertaining stories.

Not only will John join the tourist parties travelling around Britain, he'll
also return to his roots as a tour guide in a series of immersive challenges.
Now he's seen the professional tourist guides in action, it's his turn to put on
the show. John will have to cram up on a variety of different subjects that
celebrate the best of Britain – from iconic sights to some of the quirkier
tours.

At the end of the series, John will sum up his immersive journey. The sights
he's seen for the first time, the people he's met and what it's been like to
experience Britain through the eyes of a tourist. What has John learned `looking
at them looking at us'?
