In his charming documentary, Two Town Mad, Ray Gosling looks at what it means to him to be a midlander - by comparing and contrasting the cities of Leicester and Nottingham. Gosling has lived in and loved both places, and is fascinated by the differences between two cities that are less than thirty miles apart.

This clip focuses on his time in Nottingham - Queen of the midlands - with its metropolitan outlook, and architecture evoking sheer northern rawness.

Clip taken from Two Town Mad, originally broadcast on BBC Television, Friday 28 February, 1964.
