Episode Overview
Michael Portillo resumes his adventure traveling from Norwich to Chichester, starting in Faversham, Kent, home to the historic Shepherd Neame brewery. He learns about the brewery's significant investments in rail transport and its unique rolling stock designed for delivering beer to London. After making a special delivery to the Railway Tavern in an antique vehicle, Michael sets off towards the coastal town of Dover, positioned just 25 miles from France. There, he uncovers the hidden gem of the Western Heights fortress. In Kent’s Weald, he explores how railways contributed to Tonbridge School's cricket success before heading into Surrey, where he hilariously blow-dries a hen in Dorking!
