Episode summary
Michael Portillo learns about a successful 19th-century recycling industry in the textile town of Batley. He also discovers how the railways boosted Yorkshire's rhubarb trade and meets the great-great-granddaughter of George Bradshaw
Fun and viewer review
We'd love to hate Portillo. but just can't. What a great broadcaster enthusing us with a unique gentle style. This is informative, brilliantly shot and over too quick.
