Abroad Again in Britain Episode Guide
Edinburgh Castle
S1 Ep1
1.0
2nd Aug 2005
Edinburgh Castle. Built on the site of an extinct volcano, the history of one of Scotland's greatest landmarks is bloody, brutal and grimly fascinating. Jonathan Meades scales this most enduring of icons and visits its gentler neighbour, Holyrood Palace.
Cragside House
S1 Ep2
9th Aug 2005
Magnificent mansion containing some surprising technological innovations.
Cragside is a country house in the civil parish of Cartington in Northumberland, England. It was the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. Built into a rocky hillside above a 4 km² forest garden, it was the country home of Lord Armstrong and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1977.
Salisbury Cathedral
S1 Ep3
16th Aug 2005
Salisbury Cathedral boasts the highest spire in Britain. Jonathan Meades, who was raised in its shadow, returns to one of the country's finest medieval buildings. He wonders how an atheist can love a building dedicated to the propagation of medieval superstitions and fears.
Brighton Pavilion
S1 Ep4
23rd Aug 2005
Jonathan Meades ponders the exotic pleasure dome that is the bizarre legacy of the Prince Regent, George IV. Wild, theatrical and ostentatious, the folly is part Hindu, part Islamic, part Chinese, and wholly inauthentic.
Portsmouth Dockyard
S1 Ep5
30th Aug 2005
For centuries the world's biggest military/industrial complex, the dockyard stood as a testament to the fear of invasion, particularly by France. As he hears the stories of those who have lived and worked there, Jonathan Meades considers its role as an instrument for the generation of dread.
