Episode 6
Danish "song kindergartens" hit the right notes, while a 19th-century prison provides an unsettling location for an overnight stay.
In this episode, we visit Trekroner Børnehus, a kindergarten outside Roskilde, to hear about Sangglad — a scheme to "increase and improve" singing in Danish pre-schools.
Then we head to Horsens Prison Museum, in Jutland, to discover how a notorious jail has been transformed into a popular tourist attraction.
