A Summer Journey with Angela Rippon
Crossing and Docking
Episode 4 of 6
Angela explores the stretch of the Severn between Shepperdine and the mouth of the Avon, where people have crossed not only in ferries and over a bridge, but even on their own two feet. She discusses industrial pollution of the estuary and sees how its bed is regularly charted so that ships can navigate in and out of port. First broadcast 15 July 1988
A Summer Journey with Angela Rippon airs on BBC Four at 12:50 AM, Friday 18 July. (Subtitles.)
