Rastafarian poet and rapper Benjamin Zephaniah travels by train to receive his Creative Arts Fellowship. He shares a carriage with a racist and philistine car spares salesman, played by Timothy Spall. By chance, the poets Keats, Byron, Shelley and writer Mary Shelley are transported through time and into the carriage from a seance they are conducting in The Villa Como by a freak electrical storm. First broadcast 23 September 1992
