Genre: Documentary | History
Former British Secretary of State for Defence Michael Portillo visits abandoned, iconic locations around the UK that were at the centre of relatively unknown historical events but which are not open to the public.
Royal London Hospital: Healthcare for All
Michael Portillo calls a brief halt to his near-constant train journeying to explore some of the abandoned buildings that have played an important role in our history. He starts with the London Hospital in Whitechapel, which, decades before the creation of the National Health Service, cared for the poorest people and was once home to the Elephant Man. Much of the doc involves Portillo prowling through darkened corridors with the aid of a flashlight but en route he unearths several fascinating stories, including chilling details about the Whitechapel Murders. Be warned, there are also contemporary stories of medical emergencies – accompanied by bloody photos.
Orford Ness: Defence of the Realm
The former Secretary of State for Defence invades Orford Ness in Suffolk to explore the mysterious, formerly top-secret buildings that loom, like sinister sentries, over the local population. Cobra Mist, for instance, looks (and sounds) like a set from the 1960s incarnation of The Avengers. Michael looks in his element as he explores the austere, windowless building by flashlight, thumbing through “classified” documents. Tales of death rays, espionage and a character called “the Lone Wolf of Fleet Street” make for an intriguing exposé. With Daniel Craig on his way out, perhaps this is Mr Portillo’s way of auditioning for Bond. Can you imagine?
Shepton Mallet
Gazing up at the walls of the now disused Shepton Mallet prison in Somerset, Michael Portillo admits, enigmatically; “I’ve visited a few friends in prison [he shrugs], after all, I used to be a Member of Parliament.” Whatever can he mean? Portillo meets former Shepton prisoner Ben Gunn, (now a campaigner) who was jailed for 32 years for murder when he was just 14. Wandering around his old haunts, Gunn becomes visibly upset. There are of course a fund of stories attached to the prison, which closed in 2012 after 400 years. The young Kray Twins were inmates in their twenties, where they learned to be gangsters from fellow prisoner and later head of the Torture Gang, Charlie Richardson. In a revealing little anecdote, we learn that the twins liked mucking about with the prison’s gallows in the so-called Topping Shed.
Imber Village - The Wages of War
When you look at a map of Salisbury Plain, you can understand why, in 1943, the residents of Imber were ordered to leave. The village is bang slap in the middle of military training grounds and during the Second World War, the chances of a farmer or schoolchild getting accidentally squished by a tank increased dramatically. At the time, the villagers, who received no compensation or rehousing help, were promised they could return after the war. Shockingly, as Michael Portillo discovers, that never happened. Instead Imber – now a mournful collection of derelict buildings – is open to the public on just a few days a year.
