Great British Railway Journeys (2010)
S5E20 Brighton to Chichester
As Michael Portillo completes his voyage between the cathedral cities of Norwich and Chichester, he uncovers the fascinating history of Brighton's remarkable Pavilion and learns that Queen Victoria disapproved of the extravagant style favored by the Prince Regent. While the railways attracted day trippers to enjoy the trendy Brighton scene, underground engineers constructed an impressive sewage system exceeding 40 miles, still in use today. In Bramber, he finds that a Victorian taxidermy museum drew large crowds. Continuing to Arundel, Michael visits the grand castle and discovers the Duke of Norfolk's strong support for railways. His journey concludes in Chichester before he ventures into the South Downs for an exhilarating experience at Goodwood.
