One of the ancient walkways of Britain starts in Winchester and finishes in Canterbury. It's known as the Pilgrim's Way. Pilgrims are a bit thin on the ground now but people still get out their boots and do the walk for fun. Dennis Skillicorn and playwright Peter Terson decide to join them but they will be travelling in Peter's gypsy wagon. Their companions on the journey are Marcus the horse and his friend Toby the donkey. In this first programme they prepare for the trip and explore a little of Winchester.

Written and narrated by Libby Purves
Tim Severin 's modem heroes have rowed and sailed 650 miles - and now they face the biggest test of their voyage. Eighteen turbulent miles of the Bosphorus could shatter any hope of proving the truth behind the legend of Jason and the Argonauts. The treacherous currents need all the strength, determination and seamanship the crew can muster. And no legendary
Jason had to dodge 30,000-ton container ships as well.... Film cameramen

When it comes to feeding large numbers you need inspiration, provided today by Michael Quinn , ex-chef of the Ritz, and Lyn Hall who runs a cookery school in London. They had to please some pretty critical palates, as all the cooks in the series were invited to taste the food. Director CLARE BRIGSTOCKE Producer JENNY ROGERS
