Lanterne Rouge Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 BBC 4 have got a Timewatch programme on at 11 tonight which tries to explain what happened. It affected a lot of the Bristol/Somerset area so might be worth a watch/record. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same one. From about 2002 I think. I don`t think Timewatch is a BBC thing any more TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 There was a tsunami in Burnham a few years ago - it caused over £1million worth of improvements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigate Red Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Wish I'd watched this. I had a book for Christmas called the drowned city which is based in Bristol during the tsunami. I have not yet read it so no spoilers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. ha....yes but it's a fictional thriller related to the gunpowder plot and a catholic group set in Bristol. The tsunami bit is not a hidden surprise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
