Is this a one-off program, or an episode from a larger series?

[Machpoint005]

One part of Dibnah's 'Building Britain' series made in about 2001 (I think) for the Beeb.

[Scotty]

If, like me, you missed it!

There's another chance to miss it in 40 days time

Building The Canals.

Engineering enthusiastic Fred Dibnah takes his series on the building of Britain to his home turf - Lancashire - so he can wax lyrical over the roots of the nation's canal network. He visits Worsley to see where it all began and, in his own back garden, demonstrates the early canal-building process. Fred then takes a trip on the Leeds-Liverpool waterway, revealing the hard work and skill that made such a passage possible.
