A series of five films in which Russell Harty makes a thoroughly modern journey following in the footsteps of the 18th-century travellers in order to further his education and have a pleasurable time. Part 2
In which he looks over the Wall; John Wells introduces him to the delights of Krduterkartoffeln and a very shady dance hall in East
Berlin: he follows the Pied Piper; calls on the great-grandson of Prince
Albert; visits a museum in Munich where even the Germans can't help laughing; meets a saintly sister from
Droylesden and mad King Ludwig of Bavaria, alias Helmut Berger ; finally in Oberammergau he overcomes his prejudices, inherited from his Granny Harty , against all things German.
