A House Through Time, series 3, is one of the best portraits of Bristol I think I've ever seen. Astonishing television.

As an aside, they were filming the latest series of The Outlaws at the same time as the annual St Werburghs City Farm Fair was due to run. The income from the fair is one of the biggest sources of income for the City Farm charity, so Outlaws paid the Farm the same amount they normally got from the Fair. Probably a good deal for the Farm as it takes a huge amount of effort to run the fair (but they also staged a delayed fair a few weeks ago too!).

Honourable mention to Windmill Hill City Farm on the other side of town too.

I moved out of the UK almost 20 years ago. If I was ever to move back (not right now...) Bristol would be top of the list for potential homes for exactly those reasons. And of course it was the birth place of trip-hop.

if you want something set where the colourful houses are, the original Being Human series too
