Engineering enthusiast Guy Martin celebrates the workers of the Industrial Revolution by recreating some of the 19th century's most impressive technical achievements. Along the way he focuses on the unsung heroes of the time - the men, women and children who worked 14 hours a day for little pay to create extraordinary marvels that changed the country for ever. He begins by overhauling a steam locomotive currently in use on the Severn Valley Railway, repairing its boiler, safety valves and one of its two-ton wheels. He also lays some track using the same methods as the notorious 'navvies' - the notorious, hard-living labourers who put together Britain's entire railway infrastructure by hand

He learns how the appetite for sea-bathing began when word spread that it was good for the glands and finds out how engineering developments in factories also led to a revolution in musical instruments

Guy Martin works on a machine that can be credited with helping to kick-start the Industrial Revolution. Joining a team from the Black Country Living Museum, he helps to restore a Newcomen engine - an 18th-century steam-powered device used principally to pump water out of mines.

Documentary examining how Winston Churchill brought together a group of scientists and engineers to come up with ingenious secret weapons during the Second World War

Part one of two. The presenter experiences the training of a Second World War fighter pilot, ultimately taking to the skies in a Hawker Hurricane for a dogfight against a Messerschmitt 109. In the first part, he learns how to fly in a Tiger Moth bi-plane, before progressing to the much faster Harvard aircraft and combat manoeuvres. He also tries his hand at clay pigeon shooting, which was used as a training exercise to help rookie pilots shoot fast-moving targets

Part two of two. Guy's training ramps up at the UK's only aerial combat school, where he must master dogfighting at 200mph, handling extreme g-force, and flying upside down. He enlists the help of the Parachute Regiment for a unique experiment demonstrating the firepower of Second World War aircraft machine guns, before being allowed behind the joystick of the world's only two-seater Hawker Hurricane to face a Messerschmitt 109 in the skies over Kent
