Morecambe Bay

Living on the Edge

Available for over a year

Ten coastal encounters, presented by Richard King. Today: fishing for shrimp in Morecambe Bay with Michael and Joanne Wilson. Not simply town or countryside, the coastline is a place apart – attracting lives and stories often overlooked. In these ten programmes, the writer Richard King travels around the UK coast to meet people who live and work there – a sequence of portraits rooted in distinct places, which piece together into an alternative portrait of the UK: an oblique image of the nation drawn from the coastal edge. Producer: Martin Williams
