19:00 – 20:00: Coast

Coast takes a journey around the British Isles and also visits the shores of their European neighbours. Beginning at the famous Oyster Festival in Whitstable, Neil Oliver ventures offshore to the remarkable Red Sands sea forts. Built as air defences in World War II, they inspired the design of the first North Sea oil rigs. In Dover, Alice Roberts relives the glamour days of the hovercraft crossing to France.
