An anonymous journal from Captain Cook’s first voyage resurfaces in Whitby. Can Chris ensure scholars have access to save the stories the Admiralty never wanted told? In east London, Will joins upholsterer Ray to fix an inspirational chair. It once belonged to Trevor Baylis, the eccentric genius who battled the Aids epidemic with the power of his wind-up radio. Later, Dom feels the pressure when he tries his hand at traditional woodblock printing.
