For years, the Paris Metro's Historic Collection has been locked away in a suburban warehouse, behind closed doors.

But it's now official: these unique vehicles are FINALLY getting a new home...

In the hills of southwest France, there is a road that goes directly through a major prehistoric cave.

It is quite possibly the coolest 420m of road you will ever see.

But wait until you find out what they discovered when they built it...

The Sevilla-Betis derby is one of the hottest rivalries in Spanish football. So what exactly are they doing organising an annual boat race?

I went down to the Guadalquivir River to witness Spain's answer to Oxford & Cambridge...

About ten years ago, a bunch of tiny statues started popping up around Budapest.

There are now at least 30 of them, and new ones are still being discovered every year.

I travelled to the Hungarian capital to find out more...

(Also, I'm not saying that my viewers enjoy spotting small details other people might miss, but I made a minor factual error in this video and there are already about 147 million comments pointing it out. Thank goodness SOMEONE is still keeping up the pedantic standards around here 😇)

In 1887, the French railways decided to move every clock in every station 5 minutes behind the real time.

Meanwhile, the clocks outside the stations remained untouched.

So why on earth would you do that?

And what happened when they did?

It's time for one of my favourite ever stories about France...

Today we're back in the Faroe Islands, where I am looking at this postage stamp, and asking:

Surely they cannot actually be celebrating their WW2 occupation?

Well yes, they are.

And there is a very good reason why...

What's better than a train that only needs one rail? YES, TWO TRAINS THAT ONLY NEED ONE RAIL.

In 1973, Germany launched the world's first double-sided monorail - with vehicles running above & below the same rail at the same time.

But... why? And what happened to it?

Between 1928 and 1936, Czechoslovakia built the largest stadium ever constructed.

The playing field alone was the size of 9 football pitches, and when full, it could hold 240,000 spectators.

But what is the story behind this absolute monster? What kind of event needed such a big stadium? And is it still used today? I travelled to Prague to find out more...
