Alec Clifton-Taylor presented three extremely popular series of 30- or 40-minute BBC programmes titled Six English Towns in 1977, Six More English Towns in1981, and Another Six English Towns in 1984, in which he visited Chichester, Richmond, Tewkesbury, Stamford, Totnes, Ludlow, Warwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Saffron Walden, Lewes, Bradford on Avon, Beverley, Cirencester, Whitby, Bury St Edmunds, Devizes, Sandwich and Durham, discussing their history and architectural character in an accessible and courteous (if uncompromising) style. Each series was accompanied by its own book, and DVDs of the three series were released in 2016/7.
This time Barrie showed the programme about Stamford in Lincolnshire.
