Sails Along the Trent and Ouse Pete boards the sloop Amy Howson to do it the way the Romans did - by wind and tide.

The fights, the chases, the spectacular flaming car crashes - they are all an illusion. Top Hollywood stuntmen provide step-by-step demonstrations of these unique and often dangerous special effects.
The first in an occasional series in which some of the world's great mysteries are re-examined and, in some cases, solved. Tonight's programme takes as its starting point a sensational discovery made by a film researcher while viewing newsreel material for a series on the 1930s. A trail of clues that had been hidden for half a century was unearthed, and an amazing conclusion reached.
Long before Dr Beeching wielded his axe, the railway line from Hexham to
Riccarton Junction had disappeared from the map.
The Border Counties line was highly scenic and totally unprofitable. Its closure and the opening of Kielder
Reservoir destroyed entire communities.
But memories disappear less easily than bricks and mortar ... Executive producer JOHN MAPPLEBECK Producer
