Help me out here!

When I visit a city, I know what I want from a guided tour, but what do you look for?

When you book a tour, what matters most to you?

Maybe it’s the authenticity, or the hidden stories?

Maybe it’s the photo opportunities at locations you wouldn’t find on your own

What turns a good tour into a memorable one?

What tours have disappointed you, and why?

In this episode, Simon recalled visiting Rampton during his time as a BBC reporter.

“Some of the worst criminals of the previous 30 years were there. I'm tempted to say that they were instantly recognisable, but they weren't. They were older and fatter than their last published photos. Most of them were wearing grey sweatshirts and sweatpants, and slippers with Velcro fastenings. They were all white and their skin had a yellowish tinge. The older ones seemed faded to the point of translucency.

Each inmate had at least one nurse; Rampton is particular that it isn't a prison and its staff aren't prison officers. A very large woman was standing closest to the door. She had a mullet haircut, short at the sides, long at the back and streaked blonde on top. She was holding a red table tennis bat and turned to look at us with a kind of bored curiosity. Was she doped up, I wondered, or had she simply stopped caring?

The music faded as we continued down the seemingly endless corridor...

How come I love them now?
How come I love them more?
When all I wanted to do when I was old
Was to walk out the door...

Presently, I put a name to the face. The woman with the red table tennis bat was Beverley Allitt.

Policing isn’t pretty

It’s ugly and chaotic

Those that think it should be

Are either deluded or myopic

Policing doesn’t have hindsight

It’s immediate and raw

And those who politicise it

Stick in every copper’s craw

Policing in real-time is messy

Inexplicable and intense

Only when the dust has settled

Does the story make any sense

Who would want to police our streets

Knowing the absurd level of scrutiny

Where managers hide and turn their backs

That even Robo Cop would mutiny
