Dr Onyeka Nubia gets to grips with Victorian Britain beginning in Birmingham, the industrial heartland of the midlands and a modern city, whose influence was felt around the world.
Dr Onyeka Nubia explores Liverpool, which was once the most important port in the Victorian world, as it connected Victorian Britain to the Empire and the world beyond.
Onyeka is in Nottingham as he goes on the trail of Victorian law and order. The 1800s saw the ancient settlement of Nottingham transform into a bustling industrial hub, but with growth came tension, and even violence.
Onyeka's walk begins in Edinburgh's Old Town, where in 1726, the University of Edinburgh had set up its medical school - the very first in the country. Onyeka reveals that the school became caught up in the greatest scandal of the era.
