Dave Myers visits Wilton's Music Hall in London to look at a restoration project with a difference, as the builders have to make it look like they have never been.

In the 1870s, there were over 300 music halls in London alone, Wilton's is one of the few left standing. Dave discovers why variety shows at these outrageous establishments were so special and that Victorian society wasn't as polite as you'd think. Finally, Dave lets his hair down and brings his family along for a good old-fashioned cockney knees-up!
