UK floods: Muchelney residents cut off for a week

More than 100 residents of Muchelney have been cut off for a week because access roads are under water.

A support boat run by the fire service and provided by Somerset County Council is to start operating on Friday.

It is hoped the eight-seat vessel will be able to make three trips a day to and from the village, taking food, medicines and other supplies.

The BBC's John Kay met some of those affected in the village church.

Battered Britain: Storms, Tides and Floods is available to watch in the UK until 17 January on BBC iPlayer.
