5. Making the Crossing

Reporter Christine Finn examines recent developments in the UK's relationship with the Strait as its portal to Europe. From 2018.

Christine Finn covered The Channel for local press and TV through the 1980s-90s

Now she examines recent developments in our relationship with the Strait as our portal to Europe - as she meets those making the crossing on the DFDS Cote des Dunes.

The Channel is a reflection on the stretch of water that both separates us from and connects us to Europe.

This series examines how this waterway has affected our British identity through time, and continues to do so.
