BBC2 - Coast: The Great Guide

[Capt Popeye]

In the introduction to the programme they talked about going to Essex, but apart from saying Harwich was one of Britain's busiest ports, Essex was not seen or mentioned

Humm, yep the prog nearly got to Essex but more interesting matters kept popping up /in in Suffolk, even then the southerly direction route shown included the burial grounds at Sutton Hoo before the dreaded secret goings on on the remote shingle beach of Orford Ness all in all a very strangely edited programme.

Good job those that know the areas had some understanding of East Anglia's geography and history {

Repetitive repetitive boring boring and repetitive and odd fliting up and down the coast down and up.
A lesson in How to make an interesting programme boring!! (but cheaply!!)

But at least it's very good at recycling

Generally a great series and worth watching again, but some of the editing is a bit odd.
For instance, the one about the Isles of Scilly. The Scillonion can make you seasick and there is a fish and chip shop on St Martins. Nothing else of interest apparently.

It may benefit the Glasgow University Challenge Team.

They thought that the Scillies were in the Bristol Channel.

Horizon was excellent in those days, that seems to have gone the same way.

The sort of stuff Horizon used to do now appears on BBC4.

Even better than that is trawling through You Tube for documentary subjects of interest then playing back through a smart tv.
