Secret Britain

[franbee]

Second prog on just now. Really enjoyed last week's.

[Gentian]

Watching it too, Fran, relly good.

[dragonfly]

I'm watching it too. They are at the roaches at Leek, just passing the winking man. I know this place well.

[Gentian]

I've been to the blue pool.

[dragonfly]

Did you swim in it Gentian???

[Gentian]

Not able to swim then aged about 10, only learned in my late 20's. Got the certificate for my length when son was 6 weeks old!!

Can't help think that if these secret places are now sought out and discovered by the general populace they will be spoilt

[eleanor2]

what actually is this programme about.

[franbee]

eee, the 2 presenters are visiting 'secret' places in the country, they may have been selected by viewers. Last week they were in the south, last night was the mid England section, next week further north. Worth recording if you can't watch.

[eleanor2]

will try to watch fran.just a shame i missed the roaches.we have got lots of wonderful memories up there.we even enjoy driving through the roaches at night .it is all lonely and eerie.some people live there in there isolated farms and cottages.no communal lighting.it is so dark.

[franbee]

It's on iplayer if you want to catch it.

[eleanor2]

fran i dont even know what i player is....i usually catch the programmes you remind me of by going to itv 3.they seem to put these programmes on other nights repeating the last showings.

[franbee]

Google BBC homepage, it has info about all BBC progs, then on the top bar is iplayer. There's an A-Z to select your prog. Watch on computor. The progs are only on for a limited time, a week I think.

[eleanor2]

aha thats how you do it. thanks

[Crocus]

What is this program about? Do they go to "off the beaten track" places or something? I would love to see it.

[franbee]

Yes, it's a travel documentory where they visit lesser known public places in the countryside.

[Crocus]

Thanks Fran - I would really like to see this program, so hope that we will get the chance. I love those little tucked away places which is not commercialised or where you get overrun by millions of tourists.

[eleanor2]

[franbee]

Yes, my neck of the woods this time.
