        Overview

        David Lloyd reports from Bewdley as winter floods threaten the Worcestershire town.

Battling against the rising tide are the owners of the Mug House pub, with stools piled on tables and the jukebox saved; and a family accepting the conditions with a meal cooked on a gas stove in the middle of their flooded front room.
