Ep 1: Cuckoo Clock Country?
The first programme in a series of European journeys with Ian Nairn , writer and outspoken controversial critic of all that is bad or good in townscape and countryside. Annoyed by the traditional image of Switzerland - cowbells and cuckoo clocks - Nairn takes a 50-mile journey from Zurich and discovers a country of strong, passionate contrasts in landscape and architecture.
