The World About Us: The Changing Seashore

on BBC Two England

Special edition for holidaymakers

If it's fine today our beaches will be trodden on by more feet than ever before - but how many of us look beneath our toes?
In Torbay, where this film was made, a certain Philip Gosse once looked... what's more, his writings about what he saw started an odd craze that for a time filled Victorian drawing-rooms with marine aquaria. Today teacher and film-maker Leslie Jackman treads the same beaches observing, collecting for his own aquaria, opening the eyes of schoolchildren - and, perhaps, holidaymakers.
