Sean Crane & his team at Hurst Ferries had an interesting day last Friday, when the spent the day working with BBC Radio and TV.
Hurst Ferries look after Hurst Castle and The Needles & Hurst lighthouses on behalf of Trinity House, and BBC Radio Solent had requested Trinity HQ to do a live show from The Needles.
Those on high at Trinity HQ thought this was a good idea, and they instructed Hurst Ferries to arrange the weather and get them on site.
The TV people then joined in, and decided South Today should also be live from the iconic Needles Lighthouse. You can probably imagine trying to carry heavy (& expensive) equipment to a rock, handle a choppy sea, and then have to try and keep it all working 'live on air' was pretty interesting.
Pleasingly, both the H2O Radio Show presented by record-breaking yachtsman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, and the BBC South Today team, seemed very happy with both shows which were actually on air at the same time.
Like any man after a hard day of satisfying work, - on their return to Keyhaven, Sean was relieved to retire to the pub for a pint!
