Together they travel the length of the UK coastline and through a mixture of expert comment, compelling storytelling and computer-generated images, reveal a wealth of fascinating stories illustrating life as it is today, and as it was in the past.Episode 1: Dover to Isle of WightThe history of the Channel Tunnel stretches back further than you might think - to the late 19th century, when the Victorians envisaged a staggering feat of engineering. They began construction, but why was it never finished? Then there is the miracle of modern engineering that is Hastings, a town Sidney Little attempted to transform into the sunbathing capital of the south coast during the 1930s. Meanwhile Alice Roberts heads for the Isle of Wight and the secret rocket-testing program there, which was responsible for putting Britain's first satellite into space.
