BBC One - Walking With..., Series 1, Walking with Jim Moir

Comic Jim Moir explores the Kent coast and uncovers the quirky charm of Dungeness.

Comic Jim Moir explores a fascinating corner of the Kent coast as he walks down to Dungeness. Along the way he meets locals, explores military ruins and rides a steam train.

Jim Moir goes for a ‘power stroll through a strange landscape’ as he explores the shingle peninsula of Dungeness in this corner of Kent. The comic, birdwatcher and Kent resident, famous for his comedy persona Vic Reeves, takes his time exploring a quirky section of the coast – an area he has come to know well over the years. 

Filming himself with a 360-degree camera, Jim walks along the shingle and sand from Littlestone down to Dungeness. He visits the concrete ruins of the Sound Mirrors and takes a trip on a steam train before arriving at the twin lighthouses of the headland. 

On his journey, he meets characters who reveal hidden aspects of his surroundings - a bee collector, a worm hunter and a power station
manager all show Jim different perspectives on the area. Sunshine gives way to sea mist as he nears the end of his walk and enjoys fish and chips on the beach.
