Schofield's Europe

Prague (2x5)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 12, 1991

Phillip Schofield's visit to Czechoslovakia's capital comes two years after the Velvet Revolution and finds Stalin's statue replaced by a giant metronome and socialist lecture halls taken over by bingo. America's famed Pinkerton Police have been drafted in to help patrol the city streets, and Schofield meets the only woman officer in Czechoslovakia; and he joins a family of Romany entertainers at a colourful gypsy festival. He visits an astronomers' summer camp; a unique telephone helpline; and the studios of brilliant animator JifiBarta, who brings objects such as mannequins to life. He samples therapeutic beer in the nearby spa town of Karlovy Vary, takes an eventful drive in the national car - the Skoda, and works off his frustrations by knocking a nail into his boss's head.
