Series 11, Episode 3 - Whitby
There's one thing you definitely can't miss in Whitby and that's the ruined abbey up on a cliff looking down on the town. It's also hard to miss the jawbone of a blue whale set atop the opposite hill and the fact that Dracula was a researched and written here by Bram Stoker. You'll not go wanting if you are in search of a chip either. Mark Steel manages to dodge the seagulls and presents his findings to a local audience at The Brunswick Centre.
