Sea City

It is a big weekend for Red Funnel ferries, as thousands of people head for one of Britain's biggest music festivals on the Isle of Wight. Hard-pressed staff must deal with chock-a-block sailings and trying to stick to their timetables. On board the QM2, interiors specialist Jo Raven is keeping Cunard's flagship vessel ship-shape, while at the cruise terminal the Reverend Roger Stone is helping a crew member from India to find his grandfather's grave.

Second part in a new series, looking behind the scenes at the Port of Southampton. Hundreds of people who keep the port running are often hidden from view. Peter Roberts is a bunkering tanker skipper providing fuel for ships around the port, while Chase Wyeth's job as a tug skipper may involve some very unsavoury tasks. But the water is at the heart of people's pastimes as well as their work. Volunteers on a vintage steamship view it as an 'allotment at sea', while weekend sailors also uphold a bastion of English eccentricity - the annual cricket match at the Bramble Bank in the middle of the Solent.

Showbiz at sea! In a special episode, Sea City follows a cast of new recruits to the Academy, where young performers on P&O cruise ships learn and rehearse their shows. With a gruelling eight-week schedule before they join the Aurora on a round the world cruise, the singers and dancers must get their stagecraft up to scratch and impress creative director Stevie Bee. Sea City then joins them on their cast debut on board Aurora, as they fight sea sickness and first night nerves. Will they win over their first audience of passengers?
