Fred Dibnah traces the development of steam power from the earliest experiments in the ancient world to the modern nuclear power station.

Part 1: The Early Pioneers
Fred Dibnah traces the development of steam power from the earliest experiments in the ancient world to the modern nuclear power station. Fred visits Cornwall to look at the early history of the steam engine, first developed to pump water from tin mines.

Part 2: The Transport Revolution
Fred Dibnah traces the development of steam power, from early colliery railways to the end of steam travel in Britain in the 1960s.

Part 3: Driving the Wheels of Industry
Fred looks at the key role that was played by steam power in the extraordinary expansion of industrial Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries, and at the continued use of huge stationary steam engines in mills, collieries and steel works until well into the 20th century.

Part 4: Steaming Down the Road
Fred traces the development of steam power. He looks at early experiments in its use for road transport, and at the development of the traction engine.

Part 5: Steam on the Water
A look at how steam power revolutionised shipping, from the earliest paddle steamers with screw propellers to more modern vessels like the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Part 6: Steam in the Modern Age
Fred looks at the major advance that was made in the application of steam power with the invention of the steam turbine, and at its continued use today for the generation of electricity in both coal-fired and nuclear power stations. He also looks at the way our steam heritage is preserved in museums and by steam preservation societies.
