Tom Fort embarks on a 170-mile journey down the River Trent in his own custom-built punt. The presenter encounters the power stations that generate much of the nation's electricity, meets veterans of the floods of 1947 and learns about a Bronze Age boatman who made a life on the banks as he discovers the waterway's 3,000-year history
