The Crowd

Series 1, episode 2

Practically no-one knows the history of London like author Peter Ackroyd, and here he brings it to life in an innovative series blending documentary and drama. By the 18th century London was the greatest capital in the world, but as its population grew, so did the threats of drunken lawlessness and civil disorder. Ackroyd encounters authors who witnessed the city's drama of crime and punishment and its voracious appetite for spectacle.
