Barry O'Brien visits the Dover Amateur Radio Club, looking at how radio has evolved from the early days of Marconi through to modern digital communication — and the community keeping it alive.
Barry O'Brien visits the Dover Den and the Chatty Café to talk about creating welcoming spaces that tackle loneliness and build community connections in Dover. Volunteers share how a friendly chat, a cup of tea, and an open door can make a difference for local people of all ages.
Barry O'Brien explores the Cavell Van, a 19th-century railway carriage with a powerful connection to Britain's wartime history. Built by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, it carried the bodies of Edith Cavell, Charles Fryatt, and the Unknown Warrior after the First World War. The van was on display at Dover's Cruise Terminal 1 in November 2025.
