Channel 4’s Dover 24/7: Britain’s Busiest Port is back, and this time, the weather’s got other plans. Airing Monday at 8 PM GMT, Episode 2 finds the Port of Dover battling a major storm, which throws the usual tightly controlled chaos into overdrive.
As winds whip and waves crash, the port’s resilience is put to the test. A tugboat fights to guide a ferry safely into dock, while elsewhere, a very different kind of emergency unfolds: police investigate some rather suspicious pigeons. Yes, really. And as if that weren’t enough, over eighty charity cyclists descend on the port—adding another layer of logistical complexity to an already fraught day.
Filmed during the summer of 2024, the series continues to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at one of Britain’s most critical transport hubs. This episode delivers on that fly-on-the-wall appeal, capturing the expertise, teamwork—and occasional head-scratching moments—that keep the Port of Dover afloat, literally.
Dover 24/7: Britain’s Busiest Port airs Monday, June 9 at 8:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
