George Wanklyn was interviewed and filmed in December for a TV production in an American series produced by The History Channel entitled "Cities of the Underworld."  He will appear in the episode dedicated to Paris, one of a number of European and non-European cities selected for the series.  The episode is scheduled to be aired in the spring.  Professor Wanklyn's interview dealt particularly with the momentous transformations of Paris in the Second Empire. In speaking about the important "collector sewer" of Bosquet, he put in a plug for AUP, above ground.
