Scandinavia with Simon Reeve

Our television screens may be flooded with travelogues, but Simon Reeve's are generally better than most. As you would, he goes to places with amazing visuals; but he also seeks out interesting stories, often about how human societies are dealing with the consequences of environmental change. His most famous series have taken him to exotic places: this one was surely less difficult to film, but Reeve himself makes the case that Britons should know more about Scandanavia, and makes the additional point (not party political, but political nonetheless) that our strange fascination with the United States contrasts with our relative ignorance of nearer neighbours whose approach to at least some social issues seems to work. If you want to end your ignorance, you could do worse than start here.
