Episode 1 of 5

Charlie Connelly's voyage in search of the Shipping Forecast sets off from a Norwegian island. Read by Tom Goodman-Hill.

The shipping forecast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ radio is as familiar as the sound of Big Ben chiming the hour. Yet recognisable though the sea areas are by name, few people give much thought to where they are or what they contain. Charlie Connelly sets off on a journey into the forecast to find out.
