Presenter: Justine Shapiro
Justine starts her historical journey dodging swords
at the re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings,
then travels up the coast to visit the Royal Pavilion
in Brighton. Passing through London
she takes a canal ride up to the Yorkshire Moors
where she boards a double decker bus/hotel.
Next stop Whitby, the eerie coastal
town which inspired Bram Stoker to write the world famous
horror story, “Dracula”.
Then a stroll along the Roman built Hadrian’s
Wall, a chance meeting with a Roman centurion,
and a ride on a steam train before visiting Liverpool
to pay homage to “The Beatles”.
Venturing south in a vintage car into England’s
West Country, Justine meets the very
eccentric Marquess of Bath, and joins a pagan celebration
in Glastonbury before ending her journey
in Ottery St. Mary.
Here fearless locals terrify spectators by running through
narrow streets with huge, flaming tar barrels, to celebrate
Guy Fawkes Night.
