Zakia Sewell's quest for Albion takes her deep into the landscape of Britain and into the soil itself. Looking more closely at what lies beneath our feet, reveals a complex web of histories, some more readily visible than others and some more hopeful.

She talks to a young horticulturalist, Sam Siva; the author of a book on trespass, Nick Hayes; the rapper and playwright, Testament; the sociologist Ben Pitcher and her mum, Amey, as they walk across Hampstead Heath.

Correction: Contrary to the figure given in the programme, the compensation paid to slave owners in 1834 is equivalent to around 拢2.5bn in today's money.
