00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,436
In 1 840,
one man transformed travel In BrItaIn.

1
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,994
HIs name was George Bradshaw

2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:17,511
and hIs raIlway guIdes InspIred
the VIctorIans to take to the tracks.

3
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,673
Stop by stop,

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,552
he told them where to travel,

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,796
what to see, and where to stay.

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,750
Now, 1 70 years later,

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,668
I'm makIng a serIes ofjourneys across
the length and breadth of the country

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,678
to see what of Bradshaw's BrItaIn
remaIns.

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,152
Guided, as ever, by my Bradshaw's,
I've embarked on a new journey

10
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,794
from the roIIing countryside
of Oxfordshire

11
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,595
to the mining and smeIting
heartIands of South WaIes.

12
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,358
During the IndustriaI RevoIution,

13
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,029
the Victorians expIoited
the fruits of this Iand,

14
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,118
transforming the country and its cities.

15
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,997
And as ever, the cataIyst for that
change was the arrivaI of the raiIways.

16
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,436
I'm begInnIng
In a quIntessentIally EnglIsh regIon.

17
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,677
Its tImeless beauty and quIrky
tradItIons are all recorded

18
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,268
In my 19th-century guIdebook.

19
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,755
On thIs leg of thejourney,
I'll be seeIng Oxford

20
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,279
through Bradshaw's eyes...

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,757
It's reaIIy worth the cIimb.
That is the most fantastic view.

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,553
..samplIng a VIctorIan navvy's
favourIte brew...

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,355
Cheers. You couId buiId a raiIway
once you've drunk that, couIdn't you?

24
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,473
..and dIscoverIng a surprIsIng crop
In the heart of the Cotswolds.

25
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,797
This is the most unexpected sight.

26
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,036
SuddenIy this riot of coIour.

27
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:03,236
ThIsjourney starts In
the heart of England.

28
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,831
TakIng me west through the Malvern HIlls
and across the Welsh border.

29
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,669
I'll then travel through the
IndustrIal powerhouse of South Wales,

30
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,030
fInIshIng up In MIIford Haven.

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,635
StartIng In hIstorIc Oxford,

32
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,911
thIs stretch explores
the pIcture-postcard landscape

33
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,234
of the Cotswold hIlls

34
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,319
as far as a Pershore,
near the agrIcultural vale of Evesham.

35
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,432
My fIrst stop Is Oxford,

36
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,473
known as home to
one of BrItaIn's best unIversItIes.

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,433
According to my Bradshaw's,

38
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,075
Oxford University
has an advantage over Cambridge

39
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,919
in being pIaced among
more attractive scenery

40
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,795
and combining a greater variety
of spIendid architecture.

41
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,434
That judgment iII be
highIy controversiaI

42
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,235
amongst peopIe, Iike me,
who went to Cambridge.

43
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,351
Whatever my personal vIews,

44
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,679
there's no dIsputIng that Oxford Is
a wonderfully preserved hIstorIc cIty.

45
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,516
After the raIlway arrIved here In the
1 840s, It brought new waves of tourIsts

46
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,631
to admIre the dreamIng spIres

47
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,149
and provIded a speedy way
for students to travel

48
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,875
to and from
theIr venerable seat of learnIng.

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,310
Many of Oxford's beautIful buIldIngs
and ancIent tradItIons

50
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,032
date back to medIeval tImes,

51
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,917
but the 19th century also left Its mark,
IntroducIng competItIve rowIng, puntIng

52
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,395
and the bIcycle to the cIty.

53
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,431
My ''Bradshaw's GuIde'' waxes lyrIcal

54
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,438
about seeIng the Oxford panorama
from above.

55
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,312
To see how the modern vIew measures up,

56
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,830
I'm meetIng ChrIs Kissane
at Merton College.

57
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,996
- Chris, heIIo.
- HeIIo, MichaeI.

58
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,031
- Great to see you.
- Nice to meet you.

59
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,435
Oxford is a city to be proud of.

60
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,198
It reaIIy is, it's a wonderfuI city.

61
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,639
What's your connection?

62
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,637
I'm a student here now
at BaIIioI CoIIege

63
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,558
and when I was born, my dad
was a student at Merton CoIIege,

64
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,432
so we Iived in coIIege accommodation.

65
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,278
You were born ithin Merton CoIIege.

66
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Yeah, I'm an Irishman
but Oxford is home away from home.

67
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,832
Merton is the oIdest coIIege?

68
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,474
We, in BaIIioI, cIaim
to be the oIdest coIIege as weII,

69
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,036
but to avoid famiIy arguments
we'II agree to disagree.

70
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,276
You're cIutching a very impressive key.

71
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,949
I'm Iucky enough to get the key to
the tower of Merton CoIIege ChapeI,

72
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,833
one of the oIdest remaining
MedievaI buiIdings in Oxford.

73
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,032
We're going to have Iook up the top
and see the view of the city.

74
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,229
I can't wait, Iead me on.

75
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,112
- OK.
- Thank you.

76
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,432
Merton Isjust one of dozens
of Independent colleges

77
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,437
that make up the unIversIty.

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,189
Each adds Its own dIstInctIve
archItecture to the cIty skylIne,

79
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,630
creatIng the vIew
that my guIdebook so admIres.

80
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,512
It's reaIIy worth the cIimb, isn't it?
That is the most fantastic view.

81
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,438
It's extraordinary.
It's inspiring, isn't it?

82
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,836
What Bradshaw says
is that it's the concentration,

83
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,032
the combination of buiIdings,
that makes Oxford so great.

84
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,957
I think that's true. He says,

85
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,913
''The city presents
a very imposing appearance,

86
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,431
from the number and variety of its
spires, domes and pubIic edifices,

87
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,235
whiIe these structures, from their
magnitude and spIendid architecture,

88
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,955
give it an air of great magnificence.''
A pretty good description, isn't it?

89
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,876
Very apt, yes.

90
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,150
(MIchael) This is Bradshaw's view.

91
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:22,589
- It hasn't changed very much.
- It hasn't.

92
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,069
Oxford Is lucky to have preserved
Its stunnIng skylIne.

93
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,519
DurIng the Second World War,

94
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,792
the Luftwaffe delIberately targeted
some of BrItaIn's most hIstorIc cItIes,

95
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,036
In a bId to dent morale.

96
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,630
They even used guIdebooks
to pInpoInt herItage towns.

97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,639
But amazIngly,
Oxford survIved unscathed.

98
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,432
Why is it so weII preseRVed?

99
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,039
The story goes that HitIer

100
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,869
had his eyes on Oxford's
magnificent buiIdings for his capitaI,

101
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,151
if he ever invaded EngIand.
Story's never been proven,

102
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:57,193
but you can understand why anyone
wouId be enchanted by the view.

103
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,358
It's a rather grim reason
for a very beautifuI suRVivaI.

104
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,515
(ChrIs) It is.

105
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,835
One famous landmark that survIved
Is the RadclIffe Camera.

106
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,837
Bradshaw says, ''It's dome Is one of

107
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,077
the most conspIcuous objects
In the vIews of Oxford. ''

108
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,079
But, to me, thIs lIbrary Is
memorable for another reason.

109
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,273
Even though I was at Cambridge,

110
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,118
when I was running up to some exams,

111
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,437
I did two weeks' revision
in the RadcIiffe Camera.

112
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,596
For me, aIthough
it's a beautifuI buiIding,

113
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,110
it has that horribIe feeIing of fear
when you're running up to an exam.

114
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,915
An experience that I and many Oxford
students can definiteIy identify ith.

115
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,399
The unIversIty
has always set Oxford apart,

116
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,476
and despIte the arrIval of the raIlway,

117
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,673
the cIty dIdn't develop any major
IndustrIes In the 19th century.

118
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,439
But the ever-expandIng
academIc communIty

119
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,120
ensured that local trades thrIved.

120
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,079
Bradshaw's says
that the high street of Oxford

121
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,839
is justIy considered
the finest in EngIand.

122
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,758
''From the number and eIegance
of its pubIic buiIdings

123
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,518
and the remarkabIe cuRVature.''

124
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,632
And it does indeed resembIe
a Iong crescent.

125
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,993
And then it says, ''Oxford
has Iong been famous for good sausages.''

126
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,712
That's news to me.

127
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,432
To see whether sausages
are stIll a local delIcacy,

128
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,471
I'm headIng to the covered market.

129
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,319
It was buIlt 230 years ago

130
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,275
to try and rId the cIty centre of
unsIghtly and smelly outdoor stalls.

131
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,038
The fIrst busInesses to move In
were the butchers

132
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,515
and several stIll prosper here today.

133
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,593
Fantastic dispIay of sausages.

134
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,439
ColIn Dawson has worked here
sInce the 1990s.

135
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,118
- CoIin, heIIo.
- HeIIo, MichaeI.

136
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,073
I've come in search of sausages.
I've come to the right pIace.

137
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,155
You certainIy have.

138
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,510
What about the Oxford sausage?
Do you have that?

139
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,198
We do. This is the Oxford sausage.

140
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,151
It's our best-seIIing sausage.

141
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,556
I confess, I've never heard of an
Oxford sausage. What do you put in it?

142
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,229
It's pork, Iemon, there's herbs,

143
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,069
there's thyme, parsIey, breadcrumbs.

144
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,670
(MIchael) I'm foIIoing a 19th-century
guidebook. WouId it be the same?

145
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,191
No. In those days they used to have
veaI and beef suet as weII.

146
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,039
(MIchael) The veaI sounds
as if it wouId've been tasty.

147
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,594
What about the beef suet,
what wouId that have done?

148
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,917
Beef suet wouId've been very greasy.
Make a very greasy sausage.

149
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,157
I think in those days they thought
it was good for their heaIth.

150
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,232
Actually, recIpes for Oxford sausages
date back to the early 1 8th century,

151
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,797
but It was In VIctorIan tImes that
they achIeved natIonal recognItIon.

152
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,559
EvidentIy the Oxford sausage
was popuIar in the 1860s.

153
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:38,238
Where did you get the recipe from?

154
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,874
The recipe was handed down to us
from another company,

155
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,516
but in Mrs Beeton's, the Victorian
Mrs Beeton, Household Management Book,

156
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,039
the recipe is in there.

157
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,550
That wouId account for
why Bradshaw's mentions it,

158
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,240
because she's 1860s as weII, isn't she?

159
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,078
Yeah, 1861 , the book.

160
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,556
Isabella Beeton's book was a hIt
wIth the growIng mIddle classes,

161
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:02,639
seekIng guIdance on
how to run a respectable household.

162
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,198
Her recIpe gIves two ways to serve an
Oxford sausage, wIth or wIthout skIns.

163
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,075
Apparently the earlIest Oxford sausages
resembled our modern hamburgers.

164
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,033
As far as we understand,
this is the type of thing...

165
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,793
Just pressed out Iike that.

166
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,354
Then they moved on to sausage
a bit Iater in time.

167
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,755
Very good.
Despite the historic interest,

168
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,472
I think I'II go for a sausage today.

169
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,555
(ColIn) AII right.

170
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,035
These are
the Oxford sausages cooked today.

171
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,912
- BeautifuI.
- HeIp yourseIf.

172
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,432
Gosh, that's good.

173
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,233
That is meaty and I can taste the herbs

174
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,237
and I can taste the Iemon,
Iots of Iemon.

175
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,952
AbsoIuteIy briIIiant.

176
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,753
That's good. GIad you're enjoying it.

177
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,232
Fuelled by my sausage,
I am now leavIng Oxford behInd

178
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,476
to head Into the pIcturesque Cotswolds.

179
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,873
The lIne I'm followIng
was buIlt In the 1 850s,

180
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,278
under the supervIsIon of the famous
engIneer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

181
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,234
In the 19th century, the construction of
raiIways was scarceIy mechanised at aII.

182
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,117
It depended on thousands of Iabourers,
or navvies, using shoveIs and hammers.

183
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,189
LuckiIy, these fieIds suppIied a crop
used to produce a refreshing,

184
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,235
not-to-say aIcohoIic drink, that
couId be used to quench their thirst

185
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,557
after a day of toiI and sweat.

186
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,715
In VIctorIan tImes,
thIs part of OxfordshIre

187
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,038
was a major growIng area for barley,
a prIncIpal IngredIent In beer.

188
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,352
To fInd out how the raIlways
helped beer makIng to flourIsh here,

189
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,074
I'm gettIng off at Charlbury StatIon.

190
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,038
BeautifuI station.
Not the best day to see it.

191
00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:02,554
Just up the road Is a splendId VIctorIan
brewery, born In the raIlway age.

192
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:06,070
For fIve generatIons It's been run
by James Clarke's famIly

193
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,632
- MichaeI. WeIcome to Hook Norton.
- LoveIy to be here.

194
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,117
What a fantasticaIIy historic
and picturesque Iooking brewery this is.

195
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,434
(James) We're very Iucky.

196
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:20,518
Very traditionaI design
and unspoiIt, reaIIy, by time.

197
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,638
NIneteenth-century BrItons
were beer enthusIasts,

198
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,512
belIevIng It to be a healthy drInk,

199
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,030
and It was seen as patrIotIc
to choose a tradItIonal BrItIsh brew

200
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,196
over European wIne.

201
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,199
In the 1 800s lIcensIng laws
were changed to boost beer productIon,

202
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,834
fuellIng an explosIon of new brewerIes.

203
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,635
(James) The company was started in 1849
by my great-great-grandfather.

204
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,435
We got the first commerciaI
breing records back in 1856.

205
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:50,075
The breing deveIoped and he buiIt
a smaII brewery in the 1870s

206
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,838
and foIIowed it ith this brewery

207
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,520
that was compIete
around the turn of the century.

208
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,837
The Industry was quIck to adopt
the latest technology.

209
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,589
ThIs brewery embraced steam power
to mIll malted barley,

210
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,518
the fIrst stage of the brewIng process.

211
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,517
And the steam engine stiII works?

212
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,790
It does.
Steam engine was instaIIed in 1899

213
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,388
and it wouId've been
the soIe source of motive power

214
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,750
that was distributed
throughout the brewery,

215
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,235
by a series of Iine shafting
and open drive beIts.

216
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,112
Is it possibIe to see the machine work?

217
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,117
AbsoIuteIy. Let's fire her up.

218
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,393
(laughs)

219
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,432
We disappear in a cIoud of water vapour.

220
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,994
What a fantastic machine.

221
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,633
It has a bit of the Iook

222
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,638
and certainIy the sound of
a Iocomotive on the raiIway.

223
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,436
AbsoIuteIy, just Victorian engineering,
reaIIy weII and soIidIy buiIt,

224
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,632
and consequentIy Iasted 1 10 years, pIus.

225
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,557
It makes me feeI very at home.

226
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,949
BrewerIes are tradItIonally buIlt
on many floors, so that gravIty can help

227
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,436
to move the beer between
the dIfferent stages of productIon.

228
00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,198
(MIchael) Up and up and up.

229
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,118
(James) Yes, six fIights of stairs
to the top of the brewery

230
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,038
and we've just come up a coupIe of them.

231
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,675
ThIs brewery grew rapIdly
In the late-19th century,

232
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,631
thanks In part to a new raIlway lIne

233
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,354
buIlt through
the nearby OxfordshIre hIlls.

234
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,076
I beIieve the process of
buiIding the raiIway

235
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,714
- had a big impact on the brewery.
- It had a huge impact.

236
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,196
The section through Hook Norton
was quite difficuIt engineering-ise

237
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,392
and reputed to have taken
400 navvies four years

238
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,875
to buiId two sets of viaducts
and a Iong tunneI.

239
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,073
So, cIearIy, 400 men working very hard
and working up quite a thirst.

240
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,159
For the navvIes who buIlt the raIlways,
lIfe was tough.

241
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,679
The dark beer that they drank

242
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,395
was an Important source of nutrItIon,
rIch In Iron.

243
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,877
And are you making those Victorian
beers, on which the navvies thrived?

244
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,197
We have an oId bottIe here,
which shows the originaI IabeI.

245
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,349
That's a beer
we're stiII producing today.

246
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,794
- Wow, that is dark, isn't it?
- It is.

247
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,790
A smaII amount of
very highIy roasted maIt in it,

248
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,434
to give it a depth of coIour
and fIavour.

249
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,118
That's as bIack as night.

250
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,748
Mmm.

251
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,795
Wow.

252
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,239
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

253
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,318
You couId buiId a raiIway once
you'd drunk that, couIdn't you?

254
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,431
That puts hairs on your chest and
muscIes on your arms, I shouId think.

255
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,559
Barrels of beer used to be carrIed
by horse and cart

256
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,434
to the raIlway at Hook Norton,
a mIle down the road.

257
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,429
Sadly, that branch lIne has closed, but
the horse and cart tradItIon contInues.

258
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,030
HeIIo, what a fabuIous dray
and what beautifuI horses.

259
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,030
You wouIdn't be going towards
the station?

260
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,196
I certainIy can do. WaIk on!

261
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,192
WeII, I've often traveIIed by raiIway
Iike George Bradshaw,

262
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,518
but never headed towards the station
by horse Iike George Bradshaw.

263
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,438
My VIctorIan transport Is
carryIng me towards my next traIn.

264
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,837
ThIs leg of thejourney takes me deeper

265
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,670
Into the heart of the famous gently
rollIng hIlls called the Cotswolds.

266
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,990
My next stop got Its statIon In 1 853,

267
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,352
but Its hIstory as a haltIng place for
travellers reaches far Into the past.

268
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,238
My journey has brought me across
the border from Oxfordshire

269
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,238
into GIoucestershire,
to Moreton-in-Marsh.

270
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,591
And here I shaII find a pIace
to rest my head.

271
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,715
My guIdebook tells me
that Moreton-In-Marsh

272
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,513
Is a small town on the old Fosse Way,

273
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,428
a Roman road that stretched
all the way from Exeter to LIncoln.

274
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,677
The perfect spot
for a tradItIonal coachIng Inn.

275
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,954
I Iove the coIour of CotswoId stone.
It has an extraordinary warmth.

276
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,993
And one of the hoteIs mentioned
in my Bradshaw's stiII stands.

277
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,712
The White Hart.

278
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,718
Good evening.
MichaeI PortiIIo checking in.

279
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,875
Nice to meet you.

280
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,036
Very good to see you. What have you...

281
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,833
This evening you'II be staying in
the King CharIes Suite.

282
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,030
Ah... Which King CharIes is that?

283
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,835
It was King CharIes I and the suite
is actuaIIy named after him.

284
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,034
In fact he stayed here the night
on his way to Marston Moor

285
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,628
and Ieft the next morning
ithout paying his biII.

286
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,228
Oh. That is fantasticaIIy historic.

287
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,396
As Iong as you don't
expect me to pay his biII.

288
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,398
- You can if you want to.
- Thank you very much. Goodbye.

289
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,518
Magnificent.

290
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,920
This reaIIy crowns my day.

291
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,233
I've woken to a perfect day
for explorIng the Cotswolds.

292
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,078
Before I catch my next traIn,

293
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,512
I want to uncover the story
behInd a local landmark.

294
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,189
I've come to Moreton
because my Bradshaw's mentions

295
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,517
the Saxon tower on Broadway HiII.

296
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,428
And the author was seeing it
from Warwck 20 miIes away,

297
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,472
so it must be rather speciaI.

298
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:28,636
Broadway HIll Is a stIff clImb
from Moreton

299
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,433
and the second hIghest poInt
In the Cotswolds.

300
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,553
IntrIguIngly, my ''Bradshaw's GuIde''
claIms that the tower that tops It

301
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,069
Is vIsIble from WarwIck Castle,

302
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,431
and as I approach It I begIn to see why.

303
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,033
There's a stunning view.

304
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,232
A sIender castIe.

305
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:51,033
And whoever buiIt it
reaIIy knew their site.

306
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,037
What a fantastic position.

307
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,630
The horizon is just opened up
aII around it.

308
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,039
NeIl Thorneywork knows the hIstory
of thIs castellated curIosIty.

309
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,875
- HeIIo, NeiI.
- HeIIo.

310
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,833
Tower Iooking beautifuI
in sunIight today.

311
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,633
Yes, it's aIways nice
when the sun's on it, Iooks a treat.

312
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,436
Now, my Bradshaw's refers to it as a
Saxon tower, but I'm guessing it's not.

313
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,835
No, it was finished in 1 799.

314
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,554
Saxon refers to
the styIe of architecture used.

315
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,398
(MIchael) Who buiIt the tower?

316
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,593
(NeIl) It was buiIt by the sixth EarI
of Coventry as a present for his ife.

317
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,438
Very, very nice present, too.

318
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,994
A bit unusuaI
compared to today's presents.

319
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,031
What was she supposed to do ith it?

320
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,391
Nothing. AII she wanted to do
was Iook out of the estate indow

321
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,671
some ten miIes away and basicaIIy say,
''That's my tower.''

322
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,109
So this was in the tradition
of buiIding foIIies?

323
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,195
Yes, very much so.

324
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,229
Wealthy VIctorIans contInued to
construct quIrky buIldIngs lIke thIs

325
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:52,070
and BrItaIn Is claImed to have had more
follIes than anywhere else In the world.

326
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,909
The definition of foIIy
is a pointIess, useIess buiIding

327
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,634
and they were buiIt by the weaIthy,

328
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:04,039
in a period from 1 750 to about 1910.

329
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,631
Some peopIe think of them
as even done to give peopIe empIoyment.

330
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,638
But normaIIy they was just there
as a show of weaIth.

331
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,228
And so they were buiIdings
that they couId enjoy

332
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:17,989
views of, views from,
and just to amuse their friends.

333
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,237
Or just to amuse their friends
and say, ''This is my foIIy.''

334
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,758
These days
the tower Is open to the publIc,

335
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:30,352
and reputedly, on a fIne day, you can
see for over 50 mIles from the top.

336
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,597
- That is stunning, isn't it?
- Some view, isn't it?

337
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,392
(MIchael) That's fantastic.

338
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,873
How high are we now?.

339
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,231
(NeIl) We're about 1 ,080 feet,
incIuding the tower.

340
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:43,193
(MIchael) And reputedIy,
you can see 1 4 counties from here?

341
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,356
Yes, on a perfectIy cIear,
atmospheric day.

342
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,869
- Which are they?
- Worcestershire, Warwckshire,

343
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,436
GIoucestershire, Leicestershire,
Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire,

344
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,835
Buckinghamshire,
Staffordshire, Shropshire,

345
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,428
Avon, Dyfed, Gwent, Powys,
WiItshire and Somerset.

346
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,394
(applauds)
Bravo. That was very, very good.

347
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,193
Now, the author of Bradshaw's GuIde

348
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:09,236
was standing on Guy's Tower at
Warwck CastIe when he saw this tower.

349
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,759
Do you know where that is?

350
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,633
Warwck CastIe, just over
in that direction there.

351
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,795
OK.

352
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,230
ObviousIy, we wouId be abIe to see it
from here on a perfectIy cIear day.

353
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:22,069
I think you'II probabIy need
fieId gIasses to distinguish it.

354
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,794
Although the tower was buIlt
as a flIght of fancy,

355
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,035
In the 19th century,

356
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,436
It helped the development
of an Important art movement.

357
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,870
The Pre-RaphaeIite artists,
the arts and crafts movement,

358
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,638
aII used to come and stay here.

359
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,432
Because?

360
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,439
BasicaIIy the resident here at the time
was a gentIeman caIIed Crom Price,

361
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,996
who was a very good friend
of Burne-Jones.

362
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:47,430
So he used to invite the Pre-RaphaeIites
to come here and stay ith him

363
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,109
and I'm sure WiIIiam Morris gained
some great inspiration from being here.

364
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,994
He'd certainIy be abIe to see Iots of
Ieaves and trees and inspiring things.

365
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:56,075
That's right.

366
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,236
VIsItIng here led WIllIam MorrIs

367
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,830
to campaIgn to preserve
BrItaIn's hIstorIc monuments.

368
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,317
I for one am very glad that thIs
partIcular oddIty has survIved.

369
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,879
Any man watching this programme
who's stuck for an idea

370
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,673
for his ife for Christmas...
A foIIy's the thing.

371
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,112
That's right, buiId a tower,
ins every time.

372
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,309
I'd love to stay and plan my gIft lIst,

373
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,635
but It's tIme for me
to catch my next traIn.

374
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,831
So, I continue down
the beautifuI CotswoIds Line.

375
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,871
Next stop, Pershore.

376
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,036
The scenery I'm passIng through
Is beautIful.

377
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,720
But It hasn't always been peaceful.

378
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,435
My train iII soon pass
under the CotswoId Ridge,

379
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,039
through the Camden tunneI.

380
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,630
And this was the scene of an
extraordinary piece of raiIway history.

381
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,594
The tunneI was under
the engineering supeRVision of BruneI.

382
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,756
He'd empIoyed some navvies to dig it.

383
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,031
He was dissatisfied ith their progress
and decided to evict them.

384
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:06,030
And he did that by marching his own band
of 3,000 navvies to throw them out.

385
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,314
It was the scene of one of
the Iast pitch battIes on British soiI

386
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,796
and it was fought over a raiIway tunneI.

387
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,236
Brunel's sIde was vIctorIous, and
wIthIn a year the tunnel was complete.

388
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:22,555
The fInIshed lIne
lInked Oxford and Worcester

389
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,717
and these days It's known as
the Cotswolds LIne.

390
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,035
Good afternoon, sir, tickets, pIease.

391
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,957
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

392
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,389
This Iine is so beautifuI,
the CotswoIds Line.

393
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,670
We're quite Iucky to have it stiII,
aren't we?

394
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,631
(conductor) It's a pIeasure to work on.

395
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,832
Yeah, Iots of beautifuI stations
and scenery.

396
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:52,113
My journey now brings me
into Worcestershire,

397
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,869
which my Bradshaw's says is
engaged chiefIy in agricuIture.

398
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,150
And I'm heading for Pershore.

399
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,238
Bradshaw says, ''The situation
of the town is very beautifuI

400
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:04,397
and the surrounding scenery
is picturesque.''

401
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,353
I want to see
how agricuIture has changed

402
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,712
and I'm certainIy hoping to see
something highIy picturesque.

403
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,675
I'm gettIng off at a statIon
on the edge of the Vale of Evesham,

404
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,233
a rIchly fertIle area,

405
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:22,433
whIch In the 19th century
was a major centre for market gardenIng.

406
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,397
Orchards covered the countrysIde

407
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,718
and hundreds of tonnes of fruIt
were sent to market by raIl.

408
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,832
In the 20th century,
as foreIgn competItIon grew,

409
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,953
thIs trade dIed off and many farmers
struggled to survIve.

410
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,952
But one famIly farm
has recently had a renaIssance,

411
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,799
thanks to thIs stunnIng crop.

412
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,708
This is the most unexpected sight.

413
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,116
Here we are in the middIe of
an EngIish countryside,

414
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,791
normaI greens and browns,
and suddenIy this riot of coIour.

415
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,515
It's Iike someone tipped
a pot of different coIoured paints

416
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,790
aII over the Iandscape. Fantastic!

417
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:10,271
I'm meetIng Charles Hudson,

418
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,439
whose famIly has farmed thIs land
for over 200 years.

419
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,711
What an amazing sight.
What a riot of coIour this is.

420
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,515
It is a bit of a surprise when you
waIk down a green country Iane,

421
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,835
turn the corner and suddenIy see this.

422
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,359
Very unIikeIy.

423
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,276
ThIs sensatIonal array of delphInIums
Isn'tjust for decoratIon,

424
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,233
and nor are they sold as cut flowers.

425
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,033
In fact, thIs farm grows
a vItal IngredIent

426
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,913
for a tradItIonal EnglIsh weddIng.

427
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,992
We pick the petaIs, we dry them
and then they are...

428
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:48,793
They can be thrown as confetti.

429
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,069
That's a wonderfuI idea.

430
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,795
Whenever I've been to a church,
I've seen paper confetti.

431
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,070
This is obviousIy a much IoveIier idea.

432
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,633
And does it work as a business?

433
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,754
(Charles) We farm over a thousand acres
here and this fieId is about 15 acres

434
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,759
- and this makes up 50 of our turnover.
- ReaIIy?

435
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,599
So it's been a reaI saviour
of everything.

436
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,676
It's got us through
some difficuIt times.

437
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,916
Newlyweds have been showered wIth

438
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,918
everythIng from rIce to sweets
for centurIes.

439
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,591
The orIgIns of modern confettI
are unclear, but by VIctorIan tImes,

440
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,395
the kInd of paper mIssIles
that we launch today were common.

441
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,230
I suppose, environmentaIIy, if you're
chucking around an organic product,

442
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:33,591
that's a much nicer thing to do
than chucking around paper.

443
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,994
(Charles) CertainIy, yes.

444
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:40,672
Paper, and there's a pernicious
new product, which is foiI confetti,

445
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,237
which everybody reaIIy hates
because it just never goes.

446
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:48,238
Yes, petaIs are just Iike the grass
and the Ieaves.

447
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:51,033
They're organic
and they just disappear.

448
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,075
ConfettI Is the latest In a long lIne
of crops grown here by Charles's famIly.

449
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,555
Over the years
they've wItnessed many changes,

450
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,910
IncludIng the arrIval of the raIlway.

451
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,831
We stopped the raiIways coming through
our farm a coupIe of hundred years ago.

452
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,837
Why did your famiIy do that?

453
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,313
OriginaIIy, 300 years ago,

454
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,228
the turnpike road went through
and cut things in haIf.

455
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:18,035
Then the raiIways,
it was a sort of giddy Iimit.

456
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,232
So I think they campaigned, reaIIy,

457
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:24,079
to try and sort of push it
the other side of the river,

458
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,838
which is uItimateIy what happened,

459
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,909
which is why Pershore Station
is about a miIe and a haIf out of town.

460
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,797
I think everybody aIways sort of curses
the waIk they have to make into town.

461
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,229
Before I make the trek
back to the statIon,

462
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,316
I want to see Charles's
fInIshed product.

463
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,713
This is what it Iooks Iike.
Those are sort of bags...

464
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,631
You wouId hardIy know
that they weren't...

465
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,830
It's got a nice sort of hay smeII to it.

466
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,154
(MIchael) LoveIy smeII.

467
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,840
That's a stunning bIue in there,
isn't it?

468
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,032
It's reaIIy a very far cry
from paper confetti.

469
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,038
It's wonderfuIIy naturaI.

470
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,388
- Yeah...
- Light.

471
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,397
WeII, thank you, CharIes.

472
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,112
I must head to the raiIway station,

473
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,834
which thanks to your ancestors
is quite a Iong way away.

474
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,599
I'm afraid it is. Sorry about that.

475
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,393
Pershore's confettI fIelds

476
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,034
have certaInly made theIr mark
on the landscape.

477
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,869
And they're rIngIng the changes
at weddIngs, too.

478
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,670
The industriaI revoIution
brought factories

479
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,509
and dark satanic miIIs
to much of Britain.

480
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,234
But when I Iooked down on
the coIIeges of Oxford

481
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:37,194
and on the countryside around Broadway,

482
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,436
and waIked through the fIowers
at Pershore,

483
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,553
I was reminded that whiIst the raiIways
affected everywhere,

484
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,513
many pIaces were Ieft unspoiIed.

485
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,916
This is stiII a Iand of green pastures.

486
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,671
On the next step of my journey,

487
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,713
I'll be vIsItIng the home of
Queen VIctorIa's favourIte bIshop...

488
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,879
She commented that Bishop Perowne
had the best Iegs in tights

489
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,150
of any man on the EpiscopaI bench.

490
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,796
..snIffIng out the secrets of
a famous 19th-century condIment...

491
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,151
That's a gIorious smeII,
but a very concentrated smeII.

492
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,512
..and followIng In the footsteps of
VIctorIan health fanatIcs.

493
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,915
There'd be wet toweIs wrapped around you

494
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,429
and water poured upon you
from a ghastIy height.

495
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,438
- So, actuaIIy pretty bracing stuff.
- Bracing indeed.
