Comedian and history buff Rory McGrath celebrates the UK's most imaginative and ambitious construction endeavours, past and present. Look closely and you'll find that the Brits are behind many of the big engineering advances that shaped the modern world. From steam engines to jet engines, from the train to the hovercraft, the list is second to none. Industrial Revelations lifts the bonnet and fiddles with the brakes of Britain's engineering heritage. Along the way Rory visits a host of British marvels, from the splendour of the Palm House at Kew Gardens to the former glamour of Concorde and Ironbridge, the birth place of the Industrial Revolution.
