Railroad Walks
| Julia Bradbury |
The BBC were back in Weymouth & Portland this weekend filming for a new series called Railroad Walks about Britain’s forgotten rail lines. The programme starts in Weymouth and follows the Rodwell Trail. It is presented by Julia Bradbury who recently presented the very successful BBC series Wainwright's Walks. Local historian Stuart Morris is featured talking about some of our local history.
The programme is due to be aired in June on BBC4 and it is hoped that it will be repeated on BBC2.
The Great British Banquet
ITV were also filming in Weymouth this weekend for a programme presented by celebrity chef Marco Pierre White called The Great British Banquet which celebrates the nation's finest ingredients on offer. Using local produce, Marco will be featured sourcing and preparing a lobster recipe.
The programme will be broadcast at 9pm on ITV1 in July and is expected to attract over 6 million viewers.
