In the second television series the boys and girls in black and green continue their high-pressure days getting the goods in on time. More nightmares: a crash on the M1; a runaway bull; country lanes in Ireland; a hunt for a liquid natural gas station; and will driver Fiona keep her nails perfectly manicured?

We learn more about Stobart's close connection with the armed forces from which one in ten of their drivers are drawn. We travel with them to deliver to NAAFI stores in Germany.

There are some superb examples of mechanised handling in the Stobart depot as well as highly skilled crane operation at the container port. We learn about Stobart's fleet replacement policy and see the excitement that a hundred new trucks creates - not least for one enthusiast who sees a Scania christened with her name.

Stobart Rail features in a mammoth bridge replacement. Even more enterprise is shown when the company launches itself as a player in the airport business.

Constantly absorbing, Eddie Stobart Trucks and Trailers takes us to the heart of a great company and the people who keep it on the road. The set includes the complete series of eight programmes
