Overview
Michael Portillo continues his tour of Britain's industrial heartlands guided by his early 20th-century Bradshaw's. Michael heads for Maltby, where he is caught up with the thrill of the chase as he investigates the high-octane sport of whippet racing. He learns how this 'poor man's sport' grew during the 19th century in the mining towns of the north and retains its appeal today.
