- In his journey through time, Monty has reached the twentieth century. In a combination of industrialization and urbanization, what happened with British gardens was that they were being used as oases from the proverbial smoke and concrete of cities. While technology allowed the cultivation of a diversity of plants, including non-native ones, the focus on the botanical nature of the plants themselves in the nineteenth century gave way to the plants as a means of design, especially in the use of color, as gardens were treated as canvasses, often gardens designed as tableaux to present different pictures from a number of vantage points. Arguably, two items affected the development of the British garden the most during this century. The first is upheaval in the form of the two world wars, and the dispensation of the allotment gardens which were designed to be more utilitarian in the times of need than aesthetic. The second is the onset of the television age. While the allotment gardens brought gardening to the masses, most specifically the urban middle class, television showed them what they could do with their gardens.

- Sam Willis explores how, by the Wars of the Roses, castles were under attack from a new threat - the cannon - but survived into the Tudor era only to find their whole purpose challenged. What had once been strategic seats of power now had to keep up with the fickle fashions of the court and become palaces to impress monarchs such as Elizabeth I. Just as castles seemed to have lost their defensive function, the English Civil War erupted. The legacy of that tumultuous period resulted in castles no longer being associated with protection. Rather, their ruins took on a unique appeal, embodying a nostalgia for an age of chivalry that became a powerful part of the national psyche.
