Tom Wrigglesworth and Rob Bell visit a dry dock in Newcastle, where they witness long-serving North Sea ferry, Pride of Bruges, receiving a complete overhaul to extend its working life. The duo explore the inner workings of the 25,000-ton ship, which has transported passengers between Hull and the Belgian port of Zeebrugge for more than a quarter of a century, and travel to a ship-breaking yard to learn how ferries are recycled when they are no longer fit for service.
