2/4. Power to the People. The Rev Peter Owen-Jones explains how Victorian Britain marked a real turning point in religion, as a growing number of people - backed up by scientific discoveries - started to doubt the very truth of Christianity. Meanwhile, after nearly 2,000 years of being told how to worship, some discovered different ways of finding God as the new urban and industrial working class formed their own brand of Christianity, challenging the power of the man in the pulpit, while thousands deserted the Church of England to attend their own chapels.

6/8. William Mudge 's Ordnance Survey 1st Edition (1809). The end of the 18th century was a bad time for Britain - the American colonies had just been lost and the French fleet was on standby to attack Britain. This threat of invasion resulted in the army employing 29-year-old Lieutenant William Mudge to map the country in an attempt to see where the French were likely to target. Nicholas Crane tries to reproduce the triangulation methods of Mudge's original survey, but will he come a cropper across the dangerous wilderness of Dartmoor? Director Richard Maude
Series producer Michael Waterhouse
