Dover to be featured on BBC Coast, Sunday 5 June
- 5 June 2011 21:44109008simple explanation paul, they moved dover to clacton during the war to avoid being shelled.

No wonder we have a problem here, everything goes via Clacton - thanks BBC.
Roger - 6 June 2011 09:49109028Paul that really was an error that should have been spotted before transmission. On the introduction the continuity announcer said something along the lines of the programme being a journey from London to Antwerp via Margate which I thought was odd and certainly didn't boost Dover. I didn't really understand the need for the pieces about Dr Feelgood either other than some references to the beauty of the estuary and catching crabs. I liked their music but thought the link for this programme was very tenuous. Some nice shots of Dover though and some references to the history of the area which won't have done any harm.

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 6 June 2011 10:53109037wasn't one of the better editions, couldn't see how canvey island fitted into things for a start.
- 6 June 2011 10:58109038I have difficulty too with that presenter who insists on having his umbrellas sticking out of his backpack at all times. I am not a violent person but such pretension makes me want to remove the umbrella and find somewhere else to store it!
