The rhythmic lullaby of 'North Utsire, South Utsire' has been
lulling the nation's insomniacs to sleep for over 90 years. It has
inspired songs, poetry and imaginations across the globe - as well
as providing a very real service for the nation's seafarers who
might fall prey to storms and gales. In 1995, a plan to move the
late-night broadcast by just 12 minutes caused a national outcry
and was ultimately scrapped. Published with Radio 4 and the Met
Office, The Shipping Forecast is the official miscellany for
seafarers and armchair travellers alike. From the places themselves
- how they got their names, what's happened there through the ages
- to the poems and parodies that it's inspired, this is a
beautifully evocative tribute to one of Britain's - and Radio 4's -
best-loved broadcasts.
