Series 2: 10. Grimsby to Humberston Fitties

Michael Portillo has reached Lincolnshire, where his coastal railway journey from Middlesbrough ends. In Grimsby, he investigates an important new stage in the town’s history - as a maintenance base for some of the largest wind farms in the world.\n\nIn neighbouring Cleethorpes, Michael is excited to ride on the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway, pulled by a miniature steam locomotive, and on the shores of the mighty Humber estuary, Michael meets the Humber King, who holds the record for swimming across the Humber.\n\nFrom Cleethorpes, Michael makes for a curious and wild stretch of coastline at Humberston. At Young’s, he learns how half of all scampi produced in the UK is made – and tries it himself.
