The team's journey continues around the stunning shores of Devon and Cornwall.

Nick Crane is on a fishing expedition on board one of the last remaining Brixham trawlers, beautiful sailing boats built in Devon over 100 years ago which gave birth to fishing on an industrial scale. On his trip back in time aboard the Brixham boat, Nick discovers why the trawler men of today have to work 17 times harder to land the same catch as their counterparts did around 100 years ago. Nick also explores how Henry VIII, fearing attack after his famous divorce, built a string of cleverly positioned forts all along the south coast to keep countries loyal to the Pope at bay.

Testing his sea legs to the limit Nick Crane then embarks on one of the greatest voyages in British waters, an exhilarating ferry ride taking on the full force of the Atlantic out to the Isles of Scilly some 30 miles off Lands End.

The Isles of Scilly are surrounded by lush golden green underwater meadows of seagrass and Miranda Krestovnikoff explores the diverse wildlife of this natural sub-sea paradise as she snorkels with seals in the crystal clear waters of the Scillies.

Mark Horton reveals the extraordinary story of how Lawrence of Arabia, hero of the First World War desert campaigns, went in secret to Plymouth where he helped develop revolutionary fast rescue boats that saved countless lives in the Second World War.

Dick Strawbridge learns the surprising secrets of the global steam power revolution pioneered in the tin mines of Cornwall some 200 years ago.

And with the aid of some big wind machines Alice Roberts creates her own 'perfect storm'.
