Stephen Fry takes us on an entertaining journey around the USA in his London black cab, although the steering wheel is on the left to adapt to US roads. Stephen's guests sometimes get in the back of the cab and engage in discussion while Stephen navigates his way around the streets of the USA.
One refreshing aspect of this episode is when Stephen Fry strongly rails against casinos and its impact on the vulnerable. As he said, the House always wins.
Also there's a fascinating interview with Jimmy Wales, the Wikipedia founder. Remember this was screened in 2008, and we learn that at the time Wikipedia was the 8th most popular website in the world, and it had only 10 employees (and a battalion of volunteers) at the time.
Tariq Anwar (the father of Gabrielle Anwar) is credited as the Film Editor of this series.
