Great British Railway JourneysSeason 14, Episode 3 - Oldham To Wakefield

Greater Manchester's Metrolink tram delivers Michael Portillo to the former cotton town of Oldham on the edge of the Peak District. In the stalls of the town's Victorian repertory theatre, Michael hears how the lifting of censorship in the late 1960s allowed theatres to stage risque productions from playwrights such as Tennessee Williams. Michael then takes the Hope Valley Line to Edale in the Peak District with a hiking guide, who is encouraging women to enjoy the national park.
