You step off the bus at Bristol Temple Meads and the city’s brick edges and dockland light rearrange themselves into a television memory — narrow terraces stand in as Peckham, a corner bar becomes a prop from a gag, and a plain garage reads like a plot point. The 3½-hour coach loop moves at a brisk, conversational pace: stops for photos, short on-foot moments to stand where Del Boy and Rodney once ran, and a chance to try on a bit of costume for the Batman and Robin gag.
