麻豆约拍

The Shipping Forecast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 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 as to where they are or what they contain.

Charlie Connelly sets off on a journey into the forecast to find out, from North Utsire to South East Iceland and every port of call between.

Written by Charlie Connelly.

An omnibus of five episodes abridged by Beatrice Colin.

Read by Tom Goodman-Hill.

Producer: Gaynor MacFarlane

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in June 2004.
