[Music] [Applause] [Music] that is the English Channel a small stretch of sea that separates England from the the rest of the world and it's got to be partly responsible for what England and the English are all about this tiny island nation gave birth to an Empire that at one time ruled half the world and today almost a quarter of the world's population speaks its language how did this country come to exert so much influence small island big history [Music] England is a densely populated country that sits at the edge of Continental Europe where evidence of civilization dates back to 7,000 BC I begin my historic Journey at the site of the Battle of Hastings then I travel along the coast to Brighton I make a quick stop in London and then on to the Yorkshire Moors and then up to England's northernmost Border in Liverpool I take a ride on the Magical Mystery Tour and I end my journey in the West country at the mythical birthplace of King Arthur in [Music] [Music] tinel if there's one year in English History that Towers Above All the Rest it's got to be 1066 cuz that was the year that William of Normandy in France who later became known as William the Conqueror for obvious reasons sailed across the English Channel with his army and defeated the English right here on this field in the Battle of Hastings this momentous occasion is Faithfully reenacted every year and just to get you in the mood Saxon and Norman tent Villages are painstakingly reconstructed so you can get a taste of what life was really like as you wait for the battle to begin so this is chain mail this is chain mail this is one of the best protections from our period wow it's heavy isn't it oh would you like to try some on oh I'd love to try on some chain mail right did people think it was sexy to wear chain mail like did women wear it in their budoir uh you answer that question yourself in just a moment oh my goodness gracious this is very heavy okay do you feel feel sexy I don't feel sexy at all sorry about that that's Harold the king of England hi Harold hello hi I've never met a king before so you're going to get killed out there um yes yeah why is it that Harold got killed do you think in the end um bad luck really yeah and is this just how Harold would have dressed do you think this is the sort of style he would have dressed in yes right does everybody carry a sword no a sword would be a rich man's weapon and this sort of Sword again is very very exclusive this is based on a late Saxon sword found in Yorkshire oh wow that's beautiful and then does the chain mail protect you from swords going into you it will stop a sword cutting you it will stop a spear cutting you because part of what they were trying to stop wasn't just a killing blow but a small wound in those days you could quite easily get gang greine septicemia right you were dead 3 weeks after the battle howold it's time to go and fight right okay well to battle good luck I mean well good death I'll try Okay up com joh [Music] Normandy these are the [Music] Normans what do you think about when he's out there in battle well I don't feed him before he goes because if uh if he does get killed then that's a waste of food right I can see your point yeah as Dawn broke on the 14th of October 1066 the battle that shaped the course of English History [Music] began evenly matched with about 3,000 soldiers on each side the Saxons who were the English and the Normans who were the French battled all day until finally King Harold of the Saxons was killed William of France then took over the throne well Harold's down I guess it's the end was all kind of inevitable really since the Battle of Hastings England has never been successfully invaded though many have tried the channel and the Steep White Cliffs that line much of the southern coast provides a natural barrier today they provide some of the most stunning Coastal walks in England but the cliffs here at beach head have many uses this is the world's most popular spot for suicides it's just very compelling you know you just want to look over the edge the thing is though this chalk crumbles very very easily and sometimes the cliffs just give away at a moment's notice and it's actually really stupid getting this close to the edge especially in such a windy day less than 50 m west of Hastings is the seaside resort of Brighton by the mid 1800s Brighton was booming and this little uninvadable nation was becoming the biggest cultural and Commercial Invader the world had ever seen the British Empire was expanding halfway across the globe and its colonies were creating great wealth and when there was money to spend Brighton was the place to spend it it's funny to think that back in the 1800s this is where England's welltoo came into play the Grandeur faded a bit but you get the feeling of what it might have felt like back then a sort of 19th century Las Vegas SM Carlo kind of a thing today Brighton still boasts a working vintage penny arcade the pinball parlor of the past electricity is life mild electric shocks first became popular as a medical tonic in the 18th century it is electric it is electric oh I don't like that prisoners at work it looks like this one was made in 1863 oh wow the door's opening and this guy is doing something with a carpet maybe they built this so that people wouldn't do crimes so they could see if they did a crime where they would end up and what they'd end up doing oh I see oh h I see what the B didn't see [Music] o Brighton's Fortune started back in 1811 when the prince Regent soon to become King George IV built this fantasy Pavilion as a holiday home the social incrowd quickly followed his lead and Brighton was transformed from a tiny seaside village into a kind of Royal [Music] Disneyland a tour of the Pavilion will give you a pretty good insight into one of England's most flamboyant [Music] rulers [Music] Justine this is the music room of George IV it does give you somewhat an idea about the man does it not very indulgent and why is it is there so much oriental stuff going on here exoticism was gripping the Western World firmly and that Justin is the reason that you get a building which is Indian outside Chinese inside and completely wrong in both cases so what kind of person was he complex as capricious in character as the building is to look at well educated Charming good-look I mean you're talking Tom Cruz Eat Your Heart Out broke the heart of every was he married twice once secretly and once officially his first wife he loved Maria Fitz Herbert his second wife he loathed and she him that's the classic when he was staying at the Pavilion and was told that Napoleon had died The Courier said s your greatest enemy is now dead his reaction bad Jo when did she die we have now arrived look at in his bedroom it was not actually his bed he didn't sleep there he would have fallen straight through that bed he gained a few pounds on weight as he got older he was the master champion in drinking but the bed steps were his so is there an unset bathroom or how did that work the water for the bath was pumped in from Brighton Beach so it was sea waterer heated to a comfortable temperature he was lifted in sitting on a chair and then they called for Sak then Muhammad the Royal shampooing surgeon who washed the king you laugh but Sak then Muhammad introduced the word shampoo into the Western World the word shampoo comes from Brighton today Brighton is the weekend retreat for londoners is this first class Brighton is only 53 mi from England's capital the train journey costs about $20 round trip and takes just over an hour the capital city of London or londinium as it was once known was established by the ancient Romans in the first century ad during their 400-year occupation of England since then it has grown just a little with a population of 12 million London is now the largest city in Europe back in the 18th century Samuel Johnson wrote when a man is tired of London he is tired of life I doubt he'd put it any differently today every major period in the history of Western Civilization has left its Mark in this city it's a lot to take in and if you're not staying in London long a great way to take in the essentials is a trip down the river temps what Samuel Johnson forgot to mention is that it would probably take a lifetime to see everything London has to offer so I've decided to bypass the most popular sites and get off the well-beaten tourist Trail in many ways this neighborhood is the heart and soul of London and not that many people come here to explore it this is the East End the East End is one of London's oldest neighborhoods in the 19th century overcrowding and poverty gave it a reputation for danger and decadence this is where Jack the Ripper prowled and where Charles Dickens set many of his novels the area was heavily bombed by the Nazis during World War II but nothing could suppress its determined workingclass Spirit nowadays the East End may seem a little more Cosmopolitan but homegrown Traditions like the local pen Mash shop remain I guess a p Mash please yeah pie is a meat pie right I mashes mashed potatoes that's about all I know thank you very much thank you this is a great place to meet the locals and learn about some of the East end's Darkest Days this is my first pie and mesh ever yeah my first one they don't have knives here KN in the P lucky you up and got to eat it with your fingers I like eating with my fingers I know that East London was very difficult um during the war wasn't it I got blown up a few times did you yeah did you get hit well would they blast the bombs blew me off my bike really you mean you'd be riding along on your bike and a bomb would go off yeah really was yeah we got bombed out five times out of your bombed out of your home places where we lived really yeah I got buried twice really when you talk about it you you have such a sort of good spirit about it all and well we have good spirit it was that go under the Community got more friendly more knitted and those of us that are left are still that way did you lose friends and family during the blitz I didn't lose no family I lost friends yeah yeah I lost quite a few friends yeah yeah often do you think the world is getting better or is it getting worse oh the world the world's getting worse even after what you liveed through you think the world's getting worse yes yeah yeah everybody wants a bigger slice of the cake is not where I've got that slice I'll share it with you let see right I'll share my slice with you hi I'll share my slice with you anytime anytime hey look you can have [Music] B if you've got some time on your hands then there's a great way to get around England that not that many people know about and it's been used for hundreds of years this network of canals extends all over the country and for just a few dollars a day you can take a narrow boat from anywhere to just about anywhere and what's great is you find the hidden secret parts of England that you just wouldn't be able to see any other way and I think this is the is this the stoky or the stocky yes stoy St I'm stoy sty I'm Justine Justin you're John I'm John that's John I'm John and hi brione hello hi nice to meet you that's brone before trains or trucks these were the nation's highways built to transport raw Goods like Lumber and coal across the country until the railways made them obsolete today the canals are experiencing a mini Revival only most people use them for pleasure and not work this is just such a beautiful way to travel it's England at its best there's no doubt about it there is no way now that Ry and I could live in a city or a town a built up area you live in San Francisco I'm sorry you can keep it [Music] how long is this tunnel about 3/4 a mile how did the boats get moved before you had the diesel engine they were pulled by horses when you came to a tunnel the horse went over the top and then men were employed to what they call leg the boats through the tunnel You' have two men possibly possibly even four who would lay on the roof of the boat with their legs in the air and push their feet against the roof of the tunnel uh and leg the thing through they part their legs they would literally move the boat along with their feet yeah leg power that's where the term leg it comes from leg it leg it like move it move hop it go away leg it we're going through a tunnel push boys push if I only knew the [Laughter] words I'm taking the canals North to Yorkshire where I'll continue Overland across the Moors to Whitby before reaching ha Ran's wall on England's northern border with Scotland Yorkshire is the largest region in the country and I intend to cross it in style in England's one and only Hotel on Wheels hi I guess you're the double decker busc to dou deck [Music] travel oh this is great hi little dining area yeah this

down so that sheep could graze the Moors are now a thriving living home to flora fauna and of course Yorkshire men so what makes Yorkshire distinctive we are why of people we're supposed to be sort of a Hardy group of people you know what I mean we've got a reputation of being around da the Yan's nickname is actually Tike a t y ke now if you actually look in the dictionary what a tiek is it's a chish mongr dog or person ill-natured [Music] on yorkshire's Northeast Coast is the small Seaside town of Whitby its fortunes took off during the Great whaling boom in the 18th century transforming the town from a small fishing Community to an important Harbor and it was here that the famous World Explorer Captain Cook took his first seafaring steps on his way to becoming a national heroa wind blows P [Music] together towering over this very quaint very cute little town of Whitby is this Gothic Abbey in St Mary's Church and I've been wanting to go up there all day and now I found I have to climb up 199 steps to get there 3 4 5 36 37 384 6 6881 82 8327 198 19 night like so many abies around the country Whitby Abbey fell into decline during the reign of King Henry VII Henry broke with the Catholic church because he wasn't permitted a divorce from the first of Six Wives in defiance he turned the country Protestant got a divorce and stripped the abies of their wealth leaving them to decay [Music] whitby's eeriness makes it a mecca for Gothic horror fans after all it is the setting for one of the most famous horror stories of all time Dracula what better place to spend Halloween than in Whitby the city that inspired Bram Stoker to write the novel Dracula and there's this tour guide named Harry who supposedly gives a really good tour of all things Dracula and uh we're supposed to meet here at the whalebones I have a feeling that's the tour group over there can I welcome you all to Whitby she ramle came to Whitby for some holidays in the 1890s he was resident in the Royal Hotel and there he started to put pen to paper to write the novel Dracula let's go and find out what he R the Dracula tour shows how much of Stoker's novel was based on actual events in the book Count Dracula arrives in Whitby aboard the Russian ship demer which ran around ground on teil SS off that ship leftt a large black dog with saucer-like eyes and Fang like teeth to go and run held a Skelter up the 199 Church stairs and go and hide in the graveyard 10 years before stalker wrote his book a Russian ship actually did run a ground down down there on T Hill Sands the difference between fact and fiction was that in the fictional version stalker had the captain dead and tied to the wheel clutching his crucifix in real life the captain was charged with being drunk and disorderly welcome to the screaming tunnel so said because if you venture in here after Darkness has fallen you might meet you know who North umberland is England's northernmost County and home to one of the greatest engineering Feats of the ancient world Hadrian's Wall the wall was built by the emperor hadrien in the 2 Century ad for the Romans it clearly defined the northernmost borders of their empire for the English it represented the awesome power of the Roman army to the ancient Romans that was wild Savage Scotland and this was England a place the Romans felt they could civilize more easily Hadrian's biographer wrote that this wall was built to separate the barbarians from the Romans and symbolically this wall represented the end of the expansion of the Roman Empire and today nearly 2,000 years later this boundary between Scotland and England hasn't really changed all that much the wall stretches 73 mi from coast to coast patrols were stationed every qu Mile and gateways every mile allowing the Romans not only to ward off barbarians but to control and tax trade across the border today it is patrolled by some very enthusiastic tour guides I what are you dressed as me I am just a Roman soldier a local Roman soldier I enlisted down in Yorkshire so you're not from Italy then no no no no no no the Romans conscripted you when they came here is that how it works well not really conscripted me I just volunteered I thought well they have a lot more than I have I think I have some of that so what's your name jeffus jeffus jeffus what is that that is the con this is the thing that really told us what to do this girl is out of bed in the morning no problem whatsoever do you want to have a go sure yeah right then I've never played a corn what's it called a corn a corn [Music] yeah yeah right that'll get anybody out of bed won't it all right you show you show me how it's done basically it should be something like [Music] this the Romans left the English an incredible Legacy of engineering and 1600 years later the English took it to new heights in 1830 the first steam train was launched and there's still a few of them around today simply because so many people love them so much so what is it that you love about the steam train it's just really The Nostalgia of it I suppose I think I like the engineering just love all those shiny bits that whiz around and they're just are beautifully made so what are all those numbers these are the steam TR right so you keep track of all the trains that you see oh yeah and I just go along for the ride there a lot of people wanting to take this train I'm now traveling south on the Carlile to settle Railway and then West to the coastal city of Liverpool would you like a cracker with some cavar oh no no really I couldn't really know oh please no well all right thank you by the time Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837 Britain was the greatest power in the world and the steam train was a potent symbol Goods could be transported faster and cheaper and people could travel in a speed and luxury never before dreamed of Britain was leading an industrial revolution and the Carlile to settle Railway was one of its impressive achievements [Music] [Music] at the height of the British Empire Liverpool was one of the world's busiest and wealthiest ports trade was pouring in from our colonies and at the same time there was a huge influx of immigrants from the East Indies the West Indies India and Ireland and for many of these people their very first view of England would have been of Liverpool coming in as I am now on the river Mery Liverpool's Prosperity began in the 18th century when it became a key player in the triangular slave trade between Africa and the American colonies by the 19th century the emphasis switched to goods and passenger travel securing the city's place as a precious jewel in the English crown Liverpool's population surged as masses of immigrants heading to the American colonies never quite made it there and settled here as a result the cultural Melting Pot so evident in Liverpool has given the whole country a very unique flavor the great thing about Liverpool and all big cities in England is that you can go to any of these sort of fast food restaurants that look like nothing and there's just this amazing variety of food hi hi hello um what would you recommend sort of kind of a good yummy something that's not that's not a hamburger or pizza okay okay well the most poate dish at the moment that's good yeah is the um the chips and curry sauce chips and curry sauce that sounds good now that's that's that's really typical right they take something like Curry and they mix it with something really English like chips this is my first Curry and chips ever good well I hope you like it m is that nice nice yeah it tastes like Curry not too spicy that's right and what do you think about people in England thinking that this is Indian you wouldn't get that in Indian I think what's happened is over a period of time when the um immigrants came to this country they actually brought with them you know their own types of taste and slowly the English I've taken it up so you end up with something that's uh quite unique but it's not authentic and it's not English it's sort of somewhere between by the end of the first world war Liverpool's fortunes had all but collapsed air travel and new methods of shipping plunged the city into poverty but when workingclass culture exploded onto the scene in the 1960s Liverpool was given a Second Chance With a Little Help from her friends The Beatles Liverpool still attracts people from all over the world but no longer for its ports these days people come from far and wide to take the Magical Mystery Tour and I've got a ticket to ride hopefully down Penny Lane Hey Jude are you excited I [Music] welcome to the Magical Mystery Tour of Liverpool The Beatles are the number one tourist attraction in the city and a trip on the Magical Mystery Tour Bus will give you a taste of the humble beginnings that inspired The Fab Four and their music we're now arriving at Penny Lane Penny Lane is that your favorite song it's mine [Music] too this is 251 men of Avenue where John lived it was here the lenon and McCartney partnership was born from John Lennon's house to Paul McCartney's house it's a a Winding Road PA mney lived here at number 20 forland Road many of the rehearsals took place here for the band and over 100 songs were written here when did you see the Beetles I saw them in 1964 were you one of the screaming girls I was I didn't intend to be we were just carried Along on a huge wave of Hysteria really what do you think it was about them that that you know made people so crazy I don't know they had a presence they had a real stage presence and they seemed ordinary they you know they didn't seem like big stars um I suppose because they came from somewh like Liverpool and they were quite working [Music] past John Lennon's earliest memory in life he was 4 years old he was playing in the back Garden of his aunti Mimi's home a building behind strawberry field Children's Home and he heard the sound of the Salvation Army brass band play he asked his auntie Mimi what it was all about Mimi told John when they have a party the band play in the garden he watched the band play and he had an idea I'd like to be in a band one day and it' all started here at strawberry field children's home [Music] over 400 local bands played in Liverpool at that time and I was the best drummer in Liverpool but the Beatles wanted Ringo it could have been [Music] [Applause] me I'm traveling south from Liverpool into the West country stopping at long lead estate and Stonehenge before heading to glastenbury and and Otter St Mary ending my journey at tinel Castle on the coast of Cornwall the best way to get off the Beaten Track is by car renting a vintage model like this 1969 Morris Miner is a great way to get around as workingclass culture boomed in the 1960s The Fortunes of England's upper classes were on the Wayne taxes and declining public support forced much of the aristocracy to open their homes to a paying public long lead house was the first to do so allowing commoners like you and me to wallow in its Splendor his lordship seventh Marquis of bath actually still lives here and I have heard that on occasion it's possible to bump into him on one of these tours boys wanted to meet a marquis hello the house was built in 156 8 for Sir John thin and is considered one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture in the country kned in 1547 Finn saw the house as a fitting seat for his newly titled family here we are in the Great Hall which is very great it's the only really Elizabethan part of the house everything else was slightly altered as time went on and what do I call you um Alexander Alexander yes do I call you Lord Alexander or Marquis Alexander or I'm happy with Alexander really I don't have to curtsy or anything okay I can't manage the bow but but you are a you are a a marquis yes so what what's the difference between a marquis and a Lord and a Duke well Lord covers uh the whole range um although you don't normally apply to a duuk it goes down well from King to Prince to Duke to mark to Earl to vount to Baron to mister here we have the family tree uh that goes right the way back the earliest name on it is tesus the Roman historian but there's lots of other names like uh Charline you're a descendant of Charlamagne just amongst others wa a there's William the first there's Harold both them har like the 1066 yeah yeah they were fighting there and they were both grandpas that's extraordinary and so where are you then you are oh right Downer thin 7th Marquis of bath that's you yes right you are English History so Alexander why did your father choose to open his home to the public oh to keep the rule for I suppose is the concise answer that it's very expensive to keep all the repairs going and to think of doing that without there being money coming in somewhere would have been something he couldn't have sustained why why was it that the aristocracy was losing their money and having to open their homes well there was Taxation and their their style of living was perhaps um too extravagant to to maintain this is the part of the house where I live you did all these this stuff oh yes I do all the murals I do um and choose the colors for the wall I mean you've done something that's quite extraordinary well it's a 21st century addition to to L I think it is a 21st century so are you what we Americans would call an eccentric Englishman well the label gets put on me but I prefer [Music] individualist as the Maris of bath will tell you the West country was once the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex an area steeped in mystery and Legend This is the mythical Heartland of the country and home to some of the earliest signs of civilization in the world oh my god there it is there's Stonehenge God I've seen that in so many [Music] books I just got here it's closing in 10 minutes oh they're incredible these are believed to have been built like 3 to five 5,000 years ago and nobody knows who built them or why some of these Stones came from hundreds of miles away it's a big [Music] mystery ancient burial ground Holy Temple astronomical Observatory or alien landing pad whatever Stonehenge was it is truly a inspiring [Music] [Applause] [Music] nearby glastenbury is the Undisputed Center of Spiritual England and is considered one of the oldest religious sites in the country Pagan and Christian pilgrims have been coming here for centuries but these days the new age pilgrims seem to outnumber the lot Glastonbury is Legend City and one of the Legends is that this tour which is the Celtic word for Hill is Avalon way back when Planet thought that these lowlands were all water creating the perfect conditions for Avalon which is a hill rising out of the Mist and there other meanings of uh Avalon it's thought to be a state of mind it's the veil between this world and the next it has associations with King Arthur and there is a great deal of archaeological evidence to show that this was a site of pre-christian ritual and it is a proven fact that it takes about 25 minutes to get to the [Music] top Legend has it that King Arthur England's ancient mythical ruler a man synonymous with all that is good and true came here in search of the Holy Grail well the tour hasn't lost its Mystic pulling power and spiritual Travelers still flock here from all over the world made it to the top of the tour I'm on the top of Avalon it's amazing what is going on oh this is great we say unto the Earth hail to thee Oh Earth it is our sacred trust forever more Hail To Thee o Earth to the Earth excuse me am I just really lucky to find you here or do you do this all the time we do all the time what are you what do

called Arthur Arthur yeah and I'm King Arthur yeah yeah and I I'm that's right I've got me own order which is called the LA arthor in warband so are you sort of a reincarnation well that's my belief but I'm not out to convince anyone that it's true all I'm out to convince people is this is what Arthur is doing now would you like to join with us I think that would be an appropriate oh [Music] sure be honest and you don't have to repeat this I have the arise Warrior Priestess loyal and arthor War by and love to stand Heart to Heart and Hand in Hand Marco Spirit hear us now confirming this our V happy [Music] hallow Pagan rituals have a sneaky way of turning up in most celebrations in England and the traditions in otter St Mary and Devonshire are no exception this might look like a peaceful devire town but tonight all hell breaks loose it's guy Fox night the biggest national celebration of the year in England and this town is famous because it celebrates it in a rather unusual way and I hear it gets very messy so I thought to dress appropriately happy guy Fox thank you a good night in 1605 a group of Catholics conspired to blow up the staunchly Protestant King James I and his government one of the conspirators guy Fox was caught red-handed with explosives in the cellers of parli his arrest and execution is celebrated Nationwide every year on November 5th with the burning of bonfires crowned by an effigy of guy Fox himself you see him the scar are flowing around up there it's like a real person is it exciting yeah making me shake actually yeah oh he's going to go up in Flames soon isn't he he's going to go up in [Music] Flames this is what everyone's been waiting for this is what this town is famous for tar Barrel throwing no one really knows when the tradition of tar Barrel rolling started many believe it originated from Pagan rituals to ward off evil spirits whatever the reason over 20,000 Thrill Seekers come here every year just to witness the mindboggling heroics of the locals and how long have you been doing it uh 10 years how quite well really got start from a kid start a boys Barrel your way up to the men's as you got no chance really my dad done it

the Big Daddy barrel of the allall is carried around until it drops [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] my journey ends here at tintagel Castle in Cornwall the mythical birthplace of King Arthur on the southwestern coast of England this seems a Fitting Place to say goodbye to this small island the thing is the more I travel the bigger this island seems to get and no matter where I end up there's always some really good story to tell history is Alive and Well in England and to experience it you don't really need to do very much more than just show up the past feels present here which is what makes this little big island so magical oh [Music] again [Music]
