Warwick Stanley Ellis , John Grundy and Dr Juliet Barker follow the bear - and the ragged staff - to the town which boasts 'the finest medieval castle in England'. In a programme which spans the centuries, they tackle the ex-stunt man, turned red knight; learn how Victorians did the family wash; and view the future from the artificial hills of Warwick's new technology park. The bear and the ragged staff? That was the emblem of the Earls of Warwick - since adopted by the town.
