Episode description

The man under your feet - we unearth the story of the amazing Frank Pick, and his invaluable contribution to London's tube. When the London Underground came together after the wilderness years (!), Frank was at the front of reorganising the system into the one that we recognise today. It's thanks to him that the Underground is a symbol of London all around the world. Plus we take a look at Harry Beck, who you can thank for you knowing how to get home when you are drunk as a skunk!
