Hats off to the Panama Canal

BUILDING THE IMPOSSIBLE WITH ROB BELL, 5, 8PM

- By MIKE WARD, television critic

IN AWE: Rob digs deep into shipping route's story

IF I asked you to name your favourite canal, what would your answer be? Would you say: "Why, the Leeds and Liverpool, of course." Would you say: "The Worcester and Birmingham, naturally." Or would you, as I'm inclined to suspect, say: "Why on earth are you asking me to name my favourite canal, Mike, you weirdo?

All of those would be understandable responses. Especially that last one.

But none of them would be the answer given by Rob Bell, the man who, as the title kind of hints, is the presenter of this series.
