Gladys Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't think Coast presents itself as thought-provoking, but is intended to be interesting which I, in my humble middle-England opinion, believe they have achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I bet Blue Peter was your favourite TV programme when you were a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yes, I did enjoy Blue Peter in the days of Valerie Singleton and Peter Purvis. But no, I do not read the Daily Mail; if I read a national daily it is the Independent, or very rarely the Grauniad. What conclusion does that make you draw?

Noggin the Nog Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 From the Trailers that I have seen it looks as though it will be more about the Basking Sharks than the Island itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 From the Trailers that I have seen it looks as though it will be more about the Basking Sharks than the Island itself. Yawn! If I see one more basking shark documentary, I swear I'm gonna start selling basking-shark-burgers next TT. The island has one of the most interesting coastal history's of the UK: Vikings, RNLI, bird sanctuaries and 500 shipwrecks - as well as Tynwald etc. etc. Which reminds me - if I really wanted to watch plankton and sharks I'd get a pass to sit and watch some of our MHKs inaction for an afternoon. These sharks are all over the UK and are not unique to the island. More shitty research from the BBC et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much sums up Tynwald: a shipwreck full of sharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noggin the Nog Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Update ! Just had the latest Radio Times and I quote :- "Alice Roberts meets a woman with a remarkable story of childhood in the Isle of Mans Internment Camps where "enemy aliens" in Britain were held during the Second World War." Maybe they had to eat Basking Shark ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they had to eat Basking Shark ! Seems they are covering Southport to Whitehaven including the Isle of Man, though I think the island could have been a programme in it's own right. Still, I suppose at least another three UK people will get to learn where the island is. The number of people in the UK, even in the North West, who think the Isle of Man is the Isle of Wight still amazes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I was once told that it's usually boring people who get bored easily themselves. I don't know if that is true or not though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
