From the Sea to the Land and Beyond

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Those of you with access to the BBC IPlayer should check out this extraordinary BBC4 documentary which is a compilation of film coverage from Edwardian times until the latter part of the 20th Century loosely based on the British Coast. There is no commentary, just a haunting sound track from 'British Sea Power'. I found it absolutely fascinating, there are some wonderful shots of old time ships and the people who made and crewed them.

Definitely recommended.

Thank you, Colin

I saw this last week?…What it was about, I can't recall!

The sea is Indeed a dangerous place!…….Not my cup o' tea!

I admire the ancient mariners, like Capt Cook, Raleigh and similar

I was offered a trip in a Lifeboat this week and have to turn it down!….Far too dangerous for the likes of lil' old' me!
