Fred Dibnah's Made in Britain The first of the last ever series made for the BBC by the late Fred Dibnah. After completing his last chimney demolition, Fred has a new project to focus on. Although terminally ill, Fred is making preparations to embark on a grand tour of Britain on board his 1912 steam traction engine. He's been painstakingly restoring it for 27 years, making most of the parts in his steam-driven Bolton workshop. Fred aims to travel around Britain in search of the engineering skills and technology from a bygone age that made it possible to build an engine like his. His journey will take him to ancient iron foundries, industrial sites and little workshops where things are still made today just as they were over 100 years ago.
