John Segeant turns Mr Darcy in his UK tourist trail
John Sergeant is following in the footsteps of Matthew Macfadyen and Colin Firth. He too has played one of Britain's most loved literary characters - Mr Darcy. The veteran broadcaster hops on the tourist trail around the UK in a new series where he follows the adventures of holidaymakers visiting Britain. During the series he encounters some travellers in search of Jane Austin, and takes part in a Pride and Prejudice performance. After travelling the length and breadth of the UK, John said his favourite spot to visit was the Isle of Man. John said: "People think of it as a place for cheap holidays, but actually it's got some grand scenery and the people were amazingly friendly. 3000 Germans go there in the summer to ride their motorbikes. I found that whole sequence, with me being in a 1950s sidecar very funny".
