Long description:

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.
