The English Channel is the world’s busiest waterway: 400 ships pass through the 21-mile-wide Dover Strait every day. It defines our border with Europe, but has brought us closer to it: the free flow of goods and people has transformed our economy and our lives.

The first episode captures the Channel’s rush hour – two weeks in summer when freight lorries share the ferries with 250,000 holidaymakers, as ferry captain Mark tries to steer his 35,000-tonne ship across the sea lanes, while dealing with drunken passengers.
