In this 41-episode weekly series, Tom Scott takes a road trip to every county of England, travelling by car, train, boat, plane, tram, monorail, and hovercraft, visiting hidden infrastructure, ancient traditions, and more bells than you might expect.

“For the new series, I arrived at locations without a script, which was both freeing and terrifying. Freeing, because it let me tell stories that would never have worked when I had to lock in the script before arriving; terrifying, because sometimes I had no idea what the story would be! The new videos are like the very best of my old ones — longer, more detailed, and perfect for Nebula.”

— Tom

Premieres on Nebula Monday, March 23 at 4pm GMT | 12pm ET.

This might be what finally makes me get nebula.

I think it'll also be up on his youtube channel, just delayed a week like Jet Lag.

it's a "Nebula First" show, so yes

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Oh lovely.

I don't mind paying a few bucks a month to get rid of all the youtube nonsense for a bit though. It's not exactly Netflix level of pricing.

Same. I've missed having new Tom content pretty bad. It sounds like a great format for his style.

this was not the move i was hoping for when one of my fave yt channels "retired"

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He never retired. He does a ton of stuff. He just stopped his YouTube uploads.

thats what the quotes were for. the man himself used the word.

What were you hoping for?

One of my favourite yt vids of all time is Tom Scott attempting to overcome his fear of rollercoasters.

Note: I'm using a yt link, as Invidious has been a bit flaky for me recently.

Can't watch a video right now but I was curious so I looked it up and there are 48 ceremonial counties, 84 local counties, and 39 historic counties in England.

I was thinking how it's cool to live in a country where this is possible. I've barely been to half the states in the USA, let alone the counties. So I also wondered how many counties there are in the US. There's about 3200...but the US is a big place.

I live in Illinois which is 20,000 km² bigger than England with 102 counties. But I sure as hell wouldn't want to go to several in the southern half so I guess this isn't something I can do in any capacity

I'm not jealous or anything and this is not that interesting but it was fun to ponder. Thanks for reading my train of thought!
