Kate Humble's Coastal Britain - Season 3
Season 3
Episodes
Isle of Wight
The naturalist takes a wintry walk around the western corner of the Isle of Wight, where she holidayed as a girl. Starting on Yarmouth's wooden pier, her journey begins with a boat trip to the Needles, which her Victorian guidebook recommends as the best way to view these impressive chalk stacks.
Hastings to Rye Harbour
Kate follows the historic East Sussex coastline, beginning on the cliffs overlooking Hastings, a town associated with the Battle of 1066. However, she is here to visit an equally historic fishing fleet that has operated from the town's ancient shingle beach, The Stade, for more than 1000 years.
Dover
Kate follows the iconic white cliffs of Dover on a 15-mile walk of contrasts. As well as overlooking the busiest shipping lane in the world, this route contains one of the world's rare rivers - a chalk stream flowing through the heart of Dover. Kate's walk begins above Folkestone Harbour at Martello Tower 3, built in the early 19th century to defend against a naval invasion by Napoleon.
St Abbs
On the Scottish Borders, Kate walks almost 15 miles from the historic fishing village of St Abbs to England's most northerly town, Berwick Upon Tweed. Her trek starts on St Abbs Head, from where she descends to St Abbs harbour, named after a Northumbrian Princess and Saint, Ebba, who was shipwrecked and founded a nearby monastery in the 7th century.

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
Poppa's House
