and looking at the future of the coastline – this is not included in the DVD release for the series. Series 2 (2006) The second series of Coast was originally aired on BBC2 during the autumn of 2006. Whilst the series starts in Dover and finishes in nearby Margate, it does not follow same circular journey of the previous series. It is the first series to feature a foreign shoreline, that of the Republic of Ireland. The subtitle of the series is The Journey Continues. Series 3 (2007) The third series of Coast was originally aired on BBC2 during the summer of 2007. In common with the previous series, the journey does not follow a circular course; the series starts in Shetland and finishes in Dover. The subtitle of the series is A Journey of Discovery.

Series 5 (2010) The fifth series of Coast was originally aired on BBC2 during the summer of 2010. It was simulcast on BBC HD.

The series opens with a journey around the Irish Sea centred on the Isle of Man; in the remaining episodes a rough circumnavigation is completed from Swanage to London. As with the previous series, the name Coast and Beyond is retained – helping to signify that the journey takes in coastlines outside the British Isles. Series 6 (2011) The sixth series of Coast was originally aired on BBC2 during the summer of 2011. It was simulcast on BBC HD. The series visits Belgium, the Netherlands, and Sweden (all for the first time) exploring how these countries
