  • Coast is a BBC documentary series first broadcast on BBC Two in 2005. A second series started on 26 October 2006 and a third in spring 2007. It covers various subjects relating to both the natural and social history of the British coastline and also more recently that of Ireland. Series four and five have been commissioned and are due to be filmed later in 2008. The series is a collaboration between the Open University and BBC Productions Birmingham. The presenters, and their fields of interest, are:*Nicholas Crane (main presenter, series 1) — geography*Alice Roberts — anthropology and geology*Neil Oliver — archaeology and social history*Mark Horton — marine archaeology*Miranda Krestovnikoff — zoologyIn addition, Dick Strawbridge and Hermione Cockburn presented one item each in the second and third series. All but one of the episodes in the first series ended with Nicholas Crane stating that in the British Isles, "Remember, you are never more than 72 miles from the sea!"Series 1 started at the white cliffs of Dover and progressed in a clockwise fashion around the coast of Great Britain . Series 2 again started at Dover but subsequent episodes have not followed series 1 in circumnavigating the UK coast, instead featuring various locations, including sections of the coast of the Republic of Ireland. All three series have been released on Region 2 DVD by Contender Home Entertainment. Series 1 has been packaged in a box set with A Picture of Britain, and also in a box set with Series 2. Extracts from the programme are often used as filler items on BBC Two, for example following a fifty-minute documentary programme such as The Natural World or Horizon, to allow the next full programme to begin on the hour. As the aerial shots from the Coast programmes are made in high-definition, they are also used in this way on BBC HD. (en)
