    An excellent and insightful two hour tour, covering Hitchcock's birthplace, his childhood home, another road where he lived when he moved back to Leytonstone with his mother following his father's death, cinemas that he visited, infamous police station his father sent him for being a naughty boy, his family air raid shelter during WW1, his school and his favourite pub. There is a lot that Gary covers. Worth every penny.
