suein56 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Most of it; I would like to see it again though before I gave an opinion.I have asked my daughter in the UK for a copy as I am sure there are some of our French/Breton friends would be interested in the bit about the Island where all the male inhabitants went to the aid of mainland France in the war.As an aside I usually enjoy Coast UK and this one did not disappoint me.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I missed the start of the program but enjoyed what I did manage to see. I agree with Sue, the part about the Ile de Sein and their men all going to war was particularly interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I really enjoyed it, the piece about the Ile de Sein was new to me and very interesting, but I have read quite a bit about Johnny Onions and visited the Guerand Salt marshes, in fact we took a wrong turn and drove over the salt marshes which was fantastic, great bird life etc.Really enjoyed seeing it again.

PeterG Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Yes, really enjoyable. It is one of the better programmes on TV, instead of all the made up tripe that is pushed out, these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Fully agree, an excellent program, from the dramatic pictures of the lighthouse and keeper in the storm, to the German submarine base, to the salt marshes and more.It was followed by the first of three, hour long episodes about the Normans, which was also worth watching.
