How Britain Worked
Season 1 · Episode 5
Guy Martin helps with the £500,000 restoration of the oldest surviving Brixham sailing trawler, a vessel that launched the modern fishing industry and transformed the way a nation ate. Guy learns about the boat's design, tests his own version of an Industrial Revolution life jacket, and makes rope using the original machines used for Nelson's HMS Victory. He also experiences deep-sea trawling and discovers how Britain acquired its taste for fish and chips
