The Channel The Worlds Busiest Waterway Series 1 2of4

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.

Part 2:
This episode exploring areas of the English Channel that have never been filmed before. The programme follows the work of British head of maintenance Vince – the man charged with keeping the tunnel moving – and one of its longest-serving engineers, Richard, who helped to build the tunnel back in 1988.
