In this feature, 'Where are we?', we're sharing snippets taken from Tony’s opening ‘pieces to camera’. But can you tell from these teasers alone exactly where we are? Remember, it’s just a bit of fun, but extra points if you can name both the series and the year!

Today, the location is perhaps best known as the site of the Latitude Music Festival.
