If youre new to Coast, this is the series that investigates and explores the mysteries of the British coastline. Its an ambitious piece of work, attacked with real enthusiasm and knowledge by its team. And its their passion thats one part of the success of this series.
The other magical ingredient though is the British coastline itself, and few opportunities are passed over to maximise it. Theres some glorious photography on show here, all the better for its digital presentation, and if anything--extraordinary given the running time of the three series--the only criticism of note is that in their desire to cover all of the British Isles, the team go at a faster pace sometimes than youd like.
Thats hardly a damning criticism though, and it certainly pales in comparison to perhaps the best complement that you can attribute to Coast, that it inspires you to seek out and visit the many places it shows you. A superb, fascinating piece of work, and this three-series set is a complete delight. --Jon Foster

If you liked Coast 1 get Coast 2,

This review is from: Coast 2 - BBC Series 2 (New Packaging) [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
I got hooked on the first series, after buying the dvd set for only 11gb. Seeing Coast season 2 on Amazon.co.uk, I had to get it, but wondered why they would do the coast of the UK again, and if it would be as good. This season has the same crew, this time the dark haired scottish guy (sorry I cant think of the names)is hosting, unbrella man does the geography stories. dosnt seem as rushed as the first season, but they had to get a lot cramed into that season.
Like the first season it is full of interesting information, including the first attempt at a England - France tunnel in 1880, the make up of the white chalk cliffs, sea habitats, beach side resorts, ect. Series 2 contains 8, one hour episodes on 3 DVDs. Well worth the price.

Coast - a must!,

This review is from: Coast : BBC Series 1-3 (9 Disc Box set) [2005] [DVD] (DVD)
This is an excellent series with true BBC investigation and great contribution from experts and people that lived during the times that some of the programs refer to. It is definitely worthwhile buying and watching the whole series and it gives many hours of entertainment at a very good price. I actually think that buying the 3 series in one box is a great advantage and worth the extra money as you can not get enough of it.Great value! Please go ahead and buy all 3 and you will enjoy it for sure!!
