Episode 20 of 20

Rosemary Shrager and Tim Wonnacott look back at what they've found out about Queen Victoria, choosing some of their favourite stories that helped them get to know her.

Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott and chef Rosemary Shrager have been travelling in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, looking at the houses, castles and stately homes she visited throughout her life and discovering the amazing preparations that went on for each royal visit, upstairs and downstairs.

At every stop along the way, they've delved into Victoria's diaries and other first-hand accounts to discover what was really going on behind closed doors. The result has been a revealing picture of Britain's longest reigning monarch. In this final programme, they look back at what they've found out about Victoria and how she changed.

They look at her life from childhood to teenage queen, becoming wife to Albert and mother to nine children, and finally in her years as a widow - learning about her through the visits she made, and choosing some of their favourite stories that helped them get to know that thoroughly modern monarch.
