Join Alice Loxton as she explores some of Britain's most exciting historical experiences!
In the first episode, Alice Loxton dives deep into London’s grisly past. She goes under the knife and takes a forensic look at the horrors of Victorian medicine. And where better to do so than the Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret - one of London’s hidden gems.
In the second episode, Alice visits the Fashion Museum in Bath to explore the evolution of women's fashion throughout the last few centuries. From Victorian bonnets and corsets to dresses worn by Kendall Jenner on the red carpet, Alice is joined by the Fashion Museum's curator Rosemary Harden who provides all the sartorial advice required - even helping Alice try on some of the clothing!
In the third episode, Alice unveils the secrets of Wells Cathedral, getting up close and personal with all aspects of the building's history. Among other things, that means abseiling down the cathedral's facade - not for the faint hearted!
In the fourth and final episode, Alice Loxton heads to Royal Museums Greenwich to visit the Cutty Sark, one of the most famous 'clipper' ship that traversed the world’s major trading routes in the late 19th Century, and was even lucky enough to climb the rigging of the spectacular tea clipper!
