Travel Documentary hosted by Michael
Portillo, published by BBC in 2018 - English narration

 

Information
------------------------------

Michael Portillo fast tracks to the early 20th
century to embark on a new series of railway journeys through Edwardian Britain. His 'new' guide book,
published over a hundred years ago, unlocks Britain's railways at their zenith, when some 20,000 miles of track
reached into every corner of the country. Michael navigates a vibrant and optimistic Britain, at the height of its power
and influence in the world, but a nation wrestling with political, social and industrial unrest at home.


1) Cromer to Cambridge 
His first journey follows in the footsteps of the new monarch for the new century,
King Edward VII, from the grand estates of Norfolk to a bivouac on Brownsea Island. In this first episode, Michael takes
a pot shot at the sport of kings at a country estate, where the king dallied with his mistress. He learns the ropes
aboard an Edwardian wherry on the Norfolk Broads and joins variety performers to tap dance on Cromer Pier. In Cambridge,
he investigates the student days of the young Prince of Wales and the novelist EM Forster, author of Howard's
End.

2) Letchworth Garden City to Herne Hill 
Michael joins a garden party where a
fourth-generation citizen of Letchworth introduces him to the city's community spirit. Heading into the capital,
Michael discovers a favoured haunt of King Edward VII and samples the monarch's favourite tipple, the King's
Ginger, invented to keep him warm in his horseless carriage.
Improvements to the London Underground in the early
20th century gave us a network of electric railways, which shaped our modern capital. Inside London's newest rail
tunnel, Michael meets engineer Jonathan Cooper to discover more about current improvements to London's oldest
deep-level tube line, the Northern line, which is being extended.

3) Croydon to Shoreham-by-Sea 
Steered by his Edwardian Bradshaw's guide, Michael Portillo arrives in west Croydon, where he uncovers a
once-celebrated, now forgotten, mixed-race composer with an uncannily familiar name. With the modern British rail
network now half the size of the Edwardian one, Michael is delighted to discover a railway renaissance in Three
Bridges.
After inspecting a new depot and its fleet of new Class 700 trains, Michael is accorded the great honour
of washing one down. Next stop Lewes, where Michael makes a beeline for Charleston, the beautiful home of the artists
Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, where he finds every surface exquisitely decorated by the inhabitants. At
Shoreham-by-Sea, Michael discovers that magnificent Edwardians in flying machines took off from the oldest licensed
airport in the country. Michael takes to the skies.

4) Chichester to Cowes 
His early
20th-century Bradshaw's guide in hand, Michael Portillo is in Chichester, West Sussex, where he encounters an
Edwardian motoring duo patronised by King Edward VII. After a grand tour of their factory, he is treated to some R&R
in one of their finest vehicles. Arriving in the seaside resort of Southsea, Hampshire, Michael heads for the majestic
King's Theatre, built by a renowned theatre designer of the day. He treads the boards with a group of true
thespians, in a community production of Lads in the Village.
Crossing the Solent with a ticket to Ryde, Michael
boards the Island Line to travel along the pier in a 1930s London Underground carriage, then hops on to the Isle of
Wight heritage line bound for Wootton. His destination is Osborne House, where the future King Edward VII spent much of
his childhood.

5) Swanwick to Brownsea Island 
Steered by his Edwardian Bradshaw's guide,
Michael Portillo promises to do his best on the island where Robert Baden Powell began the Scout movement in the early
20th century. Joining a group of modern Scouts he learns to build a bivouac and finds out what it is about Scouting that
still appeals to boys - and girls - today.
In the New Forest, Michael searches out some unsung heroes of the First
World War, the ponies who became war horses, and hears their story from a commoner who runs a stable and riding school.
Plus in Bournemouth, he investigates a very British institution: the beach hut.

6) Whitland to Swansea

Dressed in the colours of the Welsh flag and with his 'new' Edwardian Bradshaw's guide in hand,
Michael Portillo embarks on a railway adventure, from the coalfields of south Wales around the Bristol Channel to the
southernmost tip of Cornwall. His first stop is Whitland in Carmarthenshire, where in the early 20th century,
thrill-seekers gathered on Pendine Sands to indulge their need for speed. Michael joins latter day petrolheads to burn
rubber on the beach in an iconic three-wheeler.
In Llanelli, Michael retraces the fateful events of a national rail
strike in 1911 and is stirred by the sound of a male voice choir as they sing the town's unofficial anthem. At
Loughor, he discovers a passionate preacher, who led a religious revival which gripped Edwardian Wales and had profound
implications for the nation's established church.
In a suburban semi-detached house in the 'sprawling,
crawling town of Swansea', Michael discovers the restored home of the poet Dylan Thomas, and the tiny bedroom in
which he wrote two thirds of his published work.

7) Pontyclun to Ebbw Vale Town 
Armed with his
Edwardian Bradshaw's guide, Michael strikes gold at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, where after much frisking, he
gains access to the inner vaults.
At Cardiff Arms Park, Michael revisits the scene of a triumphant Welsh victory
over the fearsome All Blacks and hears from Welsh international Gerald Davies how the Welsh national anthem kicked the
intimidating Haka into touch.
In Cardiff Bay, Michael discovers the departure point for one of the Edwardian
era's most famous expeditions - Scott's ill-fated voyage to the Antarctic. Aboard the racing yacht Challenge
Wales, Michael meets young sailors training for a Tall Ships Race.

8) Newport to Clevedon Yatton Bristol
Channel 
Steered by his early 20th-century Bradshaw's guide, Michael discovers the birthplace of British
aviation in Bristol and prepares an Airbus 380 for a smooth landing at Filton. In Newport, he uncovers the heroism of a
young boy who rescued a workman from a dock disaster in which many died. Michael admires the Albert Medal awarded to the
brave Tom Lewis, now in the proud possession of his great grandson, the 385th Mayor of Newport.
Michael discovers
the home of a forward-thinking Edwardian family at Eagle House in Batheaston. Frieda Roberts remembers the suffragettes
who campaigned for votes for women in the early 20th century and found refuge at the house after their release from
prison.
And in the Somerset town of Clevedon, Michael goes to the movies in a perfectly preserved cinema dating
from 1912 and hears about the first film to be shown there, in aid of survivors of the Titanic disaster.

9) Taunton to Newton Abbot 
With purple, green and yellow ribbons flying, and sporting ankle bells,
Michael Portillo is led a merry dance in Stogumber - all in the name of fertility. He visits a celebrated Edwardian
garden at Hestercombe to discover the fruits of an unusual partnership and learns how to deadhead the roses. There is a
trip aboard the longest heritage line in England and the chance to ring in the new era at Exeter Cathedral before dining
out in style on King Edward VII's coronation gala dinner at Bovey Castle.

10) Plymouth to the Lizard

Steered by his early 20th-century Bradshaw's railway guide, Michael Portillo boldly goes to the moon by
way of the Cornish Riviera Express! On the trail of an historic achievement made at the dawn of the Edwardian era, he
investigates the first radio signal to be sent across the Atlantic.
In Plymouth, Michael uncovers what happened to
surviving crew members of the most famous ocean liner in history, the Titanic. And at Fowey, he rediscovers a lost
literary figure known as Q, who immortalised the town in his novels.

11) Hull to Malton 
Michael
Portillo embarks on a journey through Britain steered by his Edwardian railway handbook. He begins in the East Yorkshire
port of Hull, where he heads for the docks through which millions of migrants passed at the turn of the 20th century and
which are today getting a second wind.
At Cottingham, Michael picks up the trail of the future King Edward VII,
when he was Prince of Wales. Bertie, as he was known in the family, became embroiled in scandal after a high-stakes game
of cards in the grand house of Tranby Croft.
Next stop is the beautiful seaside town of Scarborough, which Michael
discovers was reeling in 1914 from bombardment by German warships and still carries the scars. Rose gardens, follies and
Baroque architecture belonging to a radical countess entice Michael to the market town of Malton, where he finds Howards
still inhabit their castle.

12) York to Frizinghall 
Armed with his Edwardian Bradshaw's
guide, Michael Portillo conducts important research in an historic tea room, built by an Edwardian immigrant to the city
of York. Research of a more sombre kind leads Michael to the roots of our modern welfare state in the work of an early
20th-century Quaker investigator, whose family manufactured chocolate.
Next stop is Leeds, where Michael discovers
the city's textile heritage, which relied in Edwardian times on a group of skilled Jewish immigrants to take it
forward. Michael learns how some of the big names built their empires in Leeds and measures up to a footballing legend.
At Bradford Grammar School, Michael hears the story of a talented Edwardian student who became a famous composer and
enjoys one of his works, sung by a music pupil of today.

13) Sheffield to Nantwich 
With his
Edwardian railway guidebook tucked under his arm, Michael Portillo is in the steel city of Sheffield, where he discovers
an enormous and beautifully preserved early 20th-century steam engine. At 400 tonnes and packing 12,000 horsepower, it
produced armour plate for the most feared warship of the Royal Navy.
Heading south into Nottinghamshire, Michael
reaches what was once the most successful coalfield in Europe. He follows his Bradshaw's guide to the former pit
village of Eastwood, where he finds the birthplace of a man then called Bert, better known today as DH Lawrence. The
author of Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover opened the eyes of Edwardian society to the life of the working
class and challenged their attitudes towards sexuality.
Michael changes gear at Langley Mill, where at the turn of
the 20th century a forward-thinking entrepreneur founded a bicycle company which is still at the cutting edge of cycling
today. Michael finishes with a dip in the briny at Nantwich.

14) Liverpool to Dolgarrog 
Michael
Portillo's Edwardian railway guide takes him to the city of Liverpool, where King Edward VII had recently laid the
foundation stone for a grand Anglican cathedral at the top of St James's Mount. The young winner of a competition
to design the building was a Roman Catholic from a family of architects. His name was Giles Gilbert Scott. Michael takes
a trip down his own memory lane in Maghull on the outskirts of Liverpool, where he discovers a childhood favourite - a
miniature tank engine with three carriages in dark red - made by Frank Hornby.
Heading west to Wales, Michael
skirts the coast to reach Abergele, where he visits the romantic ruined Gwrych Castle. He learns the story of its
fervently Welsh countess, the last of the Lloyds of Gwyrch, and admires the dedication to her legacy of a young man
devoted to restoring the estate. In Dolgarrog, in the mountains of Snowdonia, Michael rides the waves with a Welsh
national surfing champion in a former aluminium smelting works founded in the early 20th century.

15)
Criccieth to Caernarfon 
With his Edwardian Bradshaw's railway guide tucked under his arm, Michael
Portillo begins the last leg of his journey from Hull to Caernarfon. In picturesque Snowdonia, he braves the fastest zip
line in the world - stretching 1,500 feet across a vast slate quarry. He uncovers a bitter industrial dispute between
quarrymen and the owner of the pit, Lord Penrhyn, which divided the community at the beginning of the 20th century.
Riding north Wales's splendid heritage railways, Michael visits the home of British mountaineering, Pen y Gwryd,
to hear how an Edwardian journalist and poet created a climbing community, which grew to include men who would conquer
Everest in the 1950s. Michael meets the grandson of one of his political heroes, the Edwardian Prime Minister David
Lloyd George, at his birthplace in Criccieth. At the impressive 13th-century fortress of Caernarfon, built by English
King Edward I, Michael discovers the early 20th-century history behind the ceremony now traditional at the royal
investiture of a Prince of Wales.
