The Easter Floods

Five people died and an estimated £400-million-worth of damage was caused when some of the worst floods in living memory hit Britain last Easter. This special uses video footage from eye-witnesses and the emergency services to relive three terrifying days when torrential rains battered the heart of England. Reconstructions include the story of a mother and her toddler sons who had to be plucked to safety from a roof.
