In his inaugural adventure, Michael retraces the path of the new century's monarch, King Edward VII, journeying from the splendid estates of Norfolk to a campsite on Brownsea Island. During this episode, he tries his hand at the royal sport at a country estate known for the king's romantic escapades. He learns to navigate an Edwardian wherry on the picturesque Norfolk Broads and teams up with variety artists for a tap dance performance on Cromer Pier. In Cambridge, he delves into the university days of the young Prince of Wales and the celebrated writer EM Forster, known for Howard's End.
