Coast - Series 3 - Bournemouth to Plymouth

The Coast experts journey along the stunning south coast of England from Bournemouth to Plymouth. Neil Oliver explores why Sandbanks in Poole Harbour is one of the most expensive places in the world to buy a house. He also discovers where beach donkeys go to retire, and the extraordinary story of building Britain's most famous lighthouse on the perilous Eddystone rocks. Alice Roberts constructs her own coastal 'property' as she investigates the secret formula for the perfect sandcastle, while Nicholas Crane unearths the story of massive mudslides in Lyme Regis, meeting a man who can at last rebuild his house - forty years after it was demolished by a landslip. Also, Dick Strawbridge joins an American serviceman on an emotional journey, as he returns to the beach where he was given up for dead during World War Two's secret - and disastrous - 'Operation Tiger'.
