Disappearing Britain (2015)

New Forest, Bath and Vintage Trains (1x2)

Data di messa in onda: Ott 15, 2015

Maureen, Larry and Michael are joined by comedian Arthur Smith and soul singer Mica Paris as they travel Britain lifting the lid on our peculiar obsession with heritage and tradition. Maureen and Larry are in the ancient New Forest, where Maureen turns tree-hugger with a magnificent 600-year-old oak. Larry learns about charcoal making and meets a New Forest pony. Michael Buerk is in Hampshire, on the trail of the forgotten hero of Britain's natural history, Gilbert White. Arthur Smith clambers aboard a handsome 1920s locomotive at the Gloucester-Warwickshire railway. And Mica Paris indulges her passion for fashion in Georgian Bath. At the Assembly Rooms, Mica goes behind the scenes and is allowed a close look at the incredible workmanship and beauty of 17th-century dresses.
