Following an itinerary drawn up from surveys polls reviews & lazy personal prejudice Tim Moore goes to all the places that nobody wants to go to
- the bleakest towns the shonkiest hotels the scariest pubs the silliest sea zoos. He visits the grid reference adjudged by the Ordnance Survey to be the least interesting point in Britain & is chased out of the new town twice crowned Scotlands Most Dismal Place. His palate is flayed alive by horrific regional foodstuffs his ears shrivelled by the 358 least loved tracks in the history of native popular music.
