And of course, there's nothing better than fresh fish over the coals.

Coast 10

The Coast team take a fascinating journey around the shores of the United Kingdom, uncovering stories that have made the UK the island nation it is today.

In the Season 10 premiere, "Our Holiday Coast": Coast embarks on a quest to find out why the coast is good for you and asks: why do we love to be beside the seaside?

Nick Crane follows a centuries-old tourist trail out of London and heads for Margate, via Southend-on-Sea.

He finds out why a beeline for the beach has a biological effect on our stress levels and at Southend, he asks why Britain's longest pier was built here.

As he makes his way to Margate, Nick discovers why this resort once literally saved lives and how it has reinvented itself for the modern tourist by relying on some old traditions.

Miranda Krestovnikoff heads for Shell Island in north Wales on a dusk-till-dawn camping safari.

What comes out when we turn in? Miranda investigates the pleasures to be found in a night-time world of wildlife on our coast.

Aeronautical engineer Brendan Walker takes to the air as he investigates the story behind a holiday attraction with a difference: the race to set the world air speed record.

In 1953, Neville Duke took the crown back for Britain in the skies over Worthing.

Brendan finds out how he did it and takes to the skies in an authentic Hawker Hunter plane to fly in Duke's slipstream.

Finally, sisters Ronnie, Carole and June retrace a memorable trip to the seaside they first enjoyed in the 1960s.

Magnum P.I. (2018)

Jay Hernandez stars as Thomas Magnum in a modern take on the classic series about a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator in Hawaii.

A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin's Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business.

The "majordomo" of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans.

When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, Theodore "TC" Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business; and Orville "Rick" Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu's coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island.

Suspicious of Magnum's casual attitude and presence at his crime scenes, Detective Gordon Katsumoto (Tim Kang) finds that he and Magnum are more alike than either of them care to admit.

With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case.
