On 1 August this year coachman John Parker celebrated the bicentenary of the first-ever mail coach run from Bristol to London by re-creating the journey. With a team of helpers, 20 horses, and a coach full of passengers he attempted to break several records. Aboard was Martin Muncaster who captured the atmosphere of this historic occasion, driving through the night alongside John Parker. Producer CAROLINE ELLIOT
