Episode 2 of 4

Living history series with Fi Glover. Six celebrities work in four Victorian workplaces. Their second 24 hours finds them in a rural coaching inn.

Six celebrities travel back in time to the relentless graft of Victorian Britain, spending four days in four different 19th-century workplaces. Their second 24 hours finds them in the 19th-century equivalent of the motorway service station - the rural coaching inn.

With no break since leaving the filth of the dustyard, Alistair McGowan, Ann Widdecombe, Miquita Oliver, Zoe Lucker, Tyger Drew Honey and Colin Jackson are now up against the clock in the age before the dawn of the railways. There are horses to be groomed, coaches cleaned, tack polished, guests to be fed, linen to be laundered, chamber pots emptied and landlord's scams to be learned. With two more days, two more workplaces, two more episodes to go, who will have the stamina to survive the long hours and relentless grind that was the lot of the Victorian working poor?
