Boats that Built Britain

TOM CUNLIFFE TO PRESENT

MAJOR BBC TELEVISION SERIES

Tom Cunliffe will be presenting a 6-part series called The Boats that Built Britain on BBC4 TV commencing in early May. This is the flagship series in a major new season of programmes looking at the crucial way in which the sea has helped shape our island.  The programmes, produced by Form Films, examine the pivotal boats involved in Britain’s exploration, trade, fishing and defence. Tom sails on board six charismatic vessels, discovers facets of the sea he never imagined, and has a lot of fun in the process:
