Returning: Coast

SBS returns Coast to our screens next week, feauturing Nicholas Crane, Neil Oliver and the team as they go on a journey around the British Isles and beyond.

“The Channel”
Nicholas Crane and his team return for a brand new six-part series of Coast, as they go on a journey around the British Isles and beyond, uncovering an array of historical and personal different stories. In this first adventure, the team explores surprising stories on both sides of our shallowest, narrowest and busiest seaway – the English Channel. Nick Crane is on the Channel’s French coast to experience the secret life of Mont St Michel. Neil Oliver uncovers the tragic tale of the wreck of World War One troop ship SS Mendi, and Mark Horton reveals how French mapmakers unwittingly gave birth to Britain’s Ordnance Survey. Miranda Krestovnikoff helps to police some of the Channel’s international fishing fleets, and seventy years after D-Day, there’s a visit to the beaches of Normandy.

7:30pm Saturday February 28th.
