Series 6 Reversions: London to Antwerp 1

Nick Crane discovers why the world's biggest cargo ships are on course for London as he joins the struggle to construct a new mega-port as a gateway to the capital. Nick's epic new voyage then takes a strange turn as he crosses the channel to Belgium where he rides one of the longest tramways in the world, the Kusttram, which runs the entire length of Belgium's coastline. Nick also hunts down a forgotten masterpiece of Surrealist artist Rene Magritte. Alice Roberts uncovers the surprising story behind the rise and fall of the seaside landlady, formidable female pioneers who began businesses long before women had the vote. In Margate, Alice learns the secrets of being a successful landlady. In the fabulously preserved medieval city of Bruges, Mark Horton unearths why our ancestors came there 700 years ago to rediscover the forgotten art of making bricks, skills that were lost to Britain for centuries after the Romans left these shores.
