What can we expect from this episode
Michael travels to Oldham, a former cotton town on the outskirts of the Peak District, via the Metrolink tram system in Greater Manchester. Michael sits in the stalls of Oldham’s Victorian repertory theatre, the Oldham Coliseum, and listens to a story about how the elimination of censorship made it possible for the stage to present scandalous works by playwrights like Tennessee Williams.
Michael travels to Edale on the Peak District’s Hope Valley Line with a hiking guide who is keen on getting black women out into nature. Michael then travels to Sheffield, where he attends a knife-making workshop at Cutlers’ Hall.
Michael finishes this leg of his trip in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, where he is impressed by the striking postwar sculptures of Barbara Hepworth.
