Next Episode of The Channel: The World's Busiest Waterway is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
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. But as our relationship with the continent changes, these are uncertain times for the people who live and work these waters. This ambitious access-all-areas series goes inside the Channel Tunnel, on board ferries and freighters, through our highly-fortified border, and into the hidden nerve-centres that keep the whole system moving. And the maintenance workers, engineers, sea pilots and ship's captains - who move 17 million of us across the sea every year - reveal how the Channel works.
The first episode captures the Channel's rush hour: two weeks in summer when freight lorries share the ferries with 250,000 holidaymakers.
This episode explores areas that have never been filmed before, following 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.
This episode follows Nemo project manager Dave as he attempts to stick to the schedule, as a day's delay could cost a six-figure sum. Meanwhile, the project has pushed fisherman Steve out of his fishing grounds.
This episode follows the struggle at Britain's border during the first summer since the camp known as the Jungle was demolished, and the first since Britain decided to leave Europe. For how much longer can Britain keep people who want to come here over there? Cross-Channel ferry captain Mark and his crew guard their ship from migrants desperate to board it. The programme also meets Stuart, a businessman from Surrey who runs a private high-security truck stop in Calais where drivers can have their vehicles checked for migrants.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
