Water and Darkness

Series 1, episode 3

Renowned historical author Peter Ackroyd meets more influential faces from the capital's past in the innovative and informative series. This time, he interviews visionaries Friedrich Engels, Joseph Conrad and TS Eliot among others on his journey into the desperate underworld of London in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He also encounters the terrible demon Spring-heeled Jack and Victorian chronicler of the urban poor, Henry Mayhew.
