Scrap Kings

A giant brick tower is toppled next to a railway line and one of Britain's veteran Scrap Kings ploughs his profits into racing cars.

In Suffolk, an old waterside animal feed factory produces a strange black liquid to hold up its demolition. In Hampshire, a Boeing 737 jet plane is stripped and cut to pieces before being made into furniture. And near Southampton, a new machine for chopping up old copper wire gives a Scrap King tonnes of granulated profits.

In West Yorkshire, an old fire station training tower tumbles to the ground in huge lumps. In Cheshire, a condemned river cruiser takes a ride on the world's first boat lift before it's ripped to pieces by a digger. And in Hampshire a scrap king is hands on as he knocks down his own scrap yard.

In London, all work must stop after asbestos is found on the half demolished 6th floor of an office block. The team must fly in from above to pluck it from the rubble. In Lytham St Annes, roof tiles flying over the fence and a collapsed wall cause problems for the demo crew.

In Preston, an old pub gets smashed to pieces as former regulars pop in to say goodbye. In Bournemouth, boat breakers take to the high seas to pull an abandoned yacht back to shore for crushing. In Sussex, a whole house is cleared and sold off at a car boot sale.

A council housing estate in Oxfordshire is flattened but nesting birds and asbestos are holding up the team. Scrap cars are turned into a bait for a monster truck to crush and jump over. And in Sussex a scrap metal artists turns old motorbike parts into a giant alien squid.
