The Boat that Guy Built

Guy decides to use a steam engine to power the shower on board his aptly-named narrowboat, Reckless. He also visits the factory of famous lavatory manufacturer Thomas Crapper to conduct a `flush-off' between 19th-century loos.

Guy visits an Industrial Revolution cotton mill to weave his own sheets on 19th-century looms.

Motorcycle racer and engineering enthusiast Guy Martin makes a tin can using a 200-year-old technique, bakes his own traditional bread, and learns why the best cutlery uses Sheffield steel, all to make the perfect meal of beans on toast.
