On their final trip of the series, Timothy West and Prunella Scales are transported into their own pasts as they revisit the Yorkshire of their origins (Tim was born in Bradford, where Pru’s mother also lived).
They're travelling along the 200-year-old Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which takes them through the Pennines and Yorkshire Dales.
Along the way the couple make a diversion to see the Brontë sisters’ home in the village of Haworth, have to hold on tight over the steepest lock staircase in Britain, meet Huddersfield-born poet Simon Armitage and explore the model village of Saltaire.
