Britain's Worst Weather Disasters
Season 1 Episode 2 of 2
The concluding part looks at the catastrophic floods of 1953 that claimed hundreds of lives and reshaped Britain's coastline, and the devastating West Country floods of 2007 that submerged homes and triggered one of the largest emergency responses in modern British history. Also discussed are the relentless blizzards of 1982 that cut off entire communities and the unprecedented heatwaves of 2022, when soaring temperatures pushed emergency services, and the public, to breaking point
