I't on just now on BBC1. I like the relaxed presentation and the amazing camera work. Watch out for the Thurso surfing girlie taking the presenter out.
A good programme on my favourite part of the Highlands.

I managed to miss this after telling dozens of folk to remember to watch. It isn`t showing on iplayer, or I`m too stupid to find it. Link please, if there is one. Thanks

Poppett, I watched it earlier on BBC I Player, you have to change it to BBC Scotland, there's a drop down menu approx a third down the page.

Just seen the Sunday afternoon repeat so have put it on Sky+. Looking forward to it, and again next week when it goes to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute where I was born.

I know exactly what you mean! One camera shot would be of Dunnet Bay. The next Thurso Bay. Then back to Dunnet. Then Thurso again.... Then Dunnet again....

I know they have artistic licence, but that was ridiculous!

The waves in Thurso Bay were way too high for amateurs; Dunnet was much more placid!

Yes, but that is no reason for switching bays with every camera shot. It was verging on the ridiculous.
