Some beautiful scenes and interesting anecdotes
This is much better than Coast 2. Some of the places visited were really interesting and the anecdotal facts presented really put a lot of things into perspective. For instance, did you know Christopher Columbus visited Ireland before his epic voyage? All of this information put a lot of things into context for me. All in all a great show.
However, a few things spoilt it for me. Firstly, a major problem was the overbearing background music especially when there was dialogue going on at the same time - that really irritated. Second, a minor one, was the over-enthusiatic presenters' obvious continual false sense of awe, etc. This does tend to insult the audience, although they did seem to calm down in a few episodes. The third is that pretentious umbrella carried by a presenter.
Nevertheless, well worth a viewing and buying.

Not as good as series one, but better than series two.
Series one was the benchmark, simply sumptious in presentation and picture quality.

Series two was a poor relation, let down on graphic and picture quality, as well as DVD presentation/chapters.

Series three was better than two but not quite as good as one.

Regardless grab all three.

Magnificent Coast
Beautifully made: excellent camerawork and relevant information about parts of the UK and Irish Coastline. After watching Coast 1, I thought it couldn't get any better. I was wrong, it is even better because of the quality of the filming. 5 stars, no doubt!
