Michael E. Briant directed numerous episodes of classic TV series throughout
the 1970s such as Blake’s 7, Secret Army, Warship and most famously Doctor
Who. Many of his Who stories (The Sea Devils, The Green Death and Robots of
Death) are regarded as all-time greats by fans of the series. In this
memoir, Briant reminisces about his life and work, from his beginnings as a
child actor...........

“Thanks to ’Allo! ’Allo!,
Secret Army - the best drama series ever made by the BBC -
seems to have vanished from the public memory. Andy Priestner
redresses this accident of history in a book written with all the
enthusiasm, devotion and forensic insight that Secret Army
deserves. You need to see Secret Army and you need to read
this book.”

The prices of boats in the USA appear to be at least one third to a
half cheaper
than those in the UK. This is particularly true of
motorboats but many sailing yachts are bigger, better and much, much cheaper than
anything you can buy in the UK or other parts of Europe.

If you are looking for
a place int the Mediterranean to keep your boat and be able to sunbath on
Christmas Day then this book lists them all from Morocco to the Costa del
Sol to Turkey, Greece, Tunisia, Malta etc.
This is the transcript
of the YouTube video (Edition 2) and describes the procedures for British
boats visiting French ports and the 90/180 day rule. It then covers
the new situation of keeping your boat in the European Union - Mediterranean
and your options for visiting it - Post Brexit - it has 18 pages.
is probably the biggest
and best cruising ground in the world. Wonderful climate, beautiful
islands, nice people and for the most part very inexpensive. With
predictable weather and such good sailing winds it makes the
Mediterranean look like a very poor
relation.
How to get there - how to get home- details of all
the Island groups and anchorages. Pictures and chart details together with descriptions
of the islands.
Pictures, charts, distances, links to marina's and
faculties, weather and places to visit and what to see.......
There are two versions the first is for boats
coming from Europe and the second is an American Version for boats
heading south through the Bahamas & Turks and Caicos.
The book contains tidal charts and
strategy for making the final passage through the straights into the
Mediterranean. Information on fuel and marina prices as well as haul out
facilities and places to winter your boat. Beside port information for
all the above it provides places of interest and reasons for visiting
them.
There are
several ways of getting your boat to the Mediterranean. On the back of a
lorry, via the French canals, four or five day’s non stop across the Bay
of Biscay then down the Portuguese coast or spend the summer or two,
gently coasting southwards, enjoying the harbours, cities, towns and
villages of France Spain and Portugal.
This is not a pilot book, rather a passage plan and guide to the nicer
places between the South Coast of the UK to the beautiful
Mediterranean Sea. It can all be done in easy stages, to suit a lightly
crewed boat, with perhaps only a couple of people on board who are
without ‘offshore’ experience. Actually, it is a lovely way to explore
a lot of delightful foreign places.

WHO is Michael E Briant
When the publishers Classic TV Press asked me to write
