Man Creates Amazing Map of British TV Shows to Explain Geography to his Wife

Cassie Delaney

Look if you quizzed me about US places I’d fail miserably. My UK knowledge may be slightly better and even Irish towns would involve a bit of guesswork.

So let’s not shame this woman for her lack of geographical knowledge, let’s instead praise the understanding of her husband for creating this map for her (and all of us).

American designer Tim Ritz explained on his website that he and his wife were watching TV one day when she began wondering about the locations.

“One day, while deep into an episode of Foyle’s War, Kolleen asked me: “Where exactly in England is Hastings anyway?” And so I drew her a map of the UK — on a Post-It note — with a dot on the southeastern coast. And then she asked where Downton Abbey was, and then Pride and Prejudice … and soon it was was just too much for the tiny sketch

“You should do this map for real!” she said. So I did” he writes.

It includes favourites such as Doctor Who, Sherlock and Absolutely Fabulous. You can order your own HERE.
