Cabbies think they know everything, don't they?
Well, it's time to actually meet one who does.
Harry Harris is a veteran on London's streets, having driven around for two decades and sat witness to the constantly evolving, diversifying and madcap London landscape from the comfort of his own personal moveable armchair.
Yet it's still fascinating to see Harry's own intricate knowledge of the capital's past.
In this new Discovery series, Harry takes us on an informal, captivating look around London to explore some of the area's jaw-dropping sequels. Driving to and from each location, Harry regales us with his cheeky chapiness and surprisingly informative approach.
From Hitler's sister (who lived in a lovely little home in Highgate at the time her brother invaded Poland) to the rumours that the Luftwaffe had been told to purposefully avoid Senate House as Hitler had been eyeing it up as his potential London headquarters.
Your traditional WW2 documentary by way of a layman presentation, Harry proves himself a captivating storyteller.
