Armchair Britain

This episode visits the Yorkshire Dales. Miriam guides viewers through this beautiful region, dropping in on a sheep fair, going on a grouse shoot and taking part in the ancient and eccentric sport of knur and spell. The programme meets hill farmer Hannah Hauxwell, takes a ride on one of Britain's most remote railways and has a thumb through Dales folk's favourite magazine on this wonderful whistle-stop tour.

This episode's destination is south Wales and the Valleys. The programme explores this enchanting corner of Britain, basking on the beach at Barry, remembering long-lost Tiger Bay and going for a spin in a Welsh sports car. Along the way we head down the mines, hear some heavenly male voice choirs and even meet a genuine Welsh witch on this wonderful Welsh whistle-stop tour.

This episode visits Newcastle and the north east of England. Miriam guides viewers along the Tyne, taking in the beautiful bridges, the bustling quayside and the Hoppings fair. The programme meets the locals to learn some Geordie, sees Dr Martin Luther King accept his honorary degree from Newcastle University and joins in a jolly night on the town - with plenty of song along the way.

This episode's destination is Brighton. Miriam guides viewers through the stylish city by way of George IV's pleasure palace, the pier and the promenade, and a nod to the nudist beach. Abba put in an appearance, as do music hall charladies Gert and Daisy, various mods and rockers, and a man up a pole. With Pride, the Brighton Festival and the Burning of the Clocks setting the scene, we are in for a colourful and riveting tour.
