Data journalism
By the numbers
Eleven years of No Such Thing As A Fish, turned into an atlas and then counted. Everything below is computed straight from the live catalogue, so it shifts a little every time a new episode is mapped.
The most-mentioned places
Ranked by how many times the panel has actually brought each place up across the archive.
Where in the world
Top 15 countries by number of distinct places on the map. The show is, unsurprisingly, extremely British.
Britain vs. the rest of the world
702 of the 2,026 places are in the UK, about 35% of the entire atlas.
702 UK places · 1,324 everywhere else.
What kind of places
Every mapped place sorted into one of 16 categories by the pipeline.
Real vs. imaginary
The map even pins the places you can't book a trip to: other planets, a whole galaxy, and the odd mythical creature.
2,020 real places · 6 fictional or off-world.
When places first surfaced
The year each place was first mentioned on the show, a rough map of how the atlas filled in, episode by episode.
Counts are recomputed from the dataset on every deploy. See how the atlas is built for the pipeline behind these figures.
