"Victorian Vapours" plunges you straight into the odorous world of the last century. Take a boating trip on the stinking River Thames, wander through the city slums, visit the wonders of the Great Exhibition or inhale the filthy factories of the industrial revolution - even peep inside the privy at the bottom of the garden - to discover the disgusting truth about everyday life in Victorian Britain.
