BBC 2, ‘Monty Halls Great Escape’ to Beachcomber Cottage – starts Sunday the 1st March.

Monty Halls, celebrity marine biologist and diver, turns his back on city life to become a 21st century beachcomber on the West Coast of Scotland. Fortunate to have filmed worldwide he believes the Scottish West Coast is more beautiful than anywhere else on the planet. Finally he’s got the chance to fulfill his dream, to live it and explore it!

In spring 2008, Monty and his dog Reuben move into a run-down cattle shed, Beachcomber Cottage over-looking an isolated coastline, their home for the summer and the start of their self sufficiency. It couldn’t begin any better as the west coast enjoys fabulous spring weather. Unbroken sunshine, blue skies and calm seas beckon him to explore the area looking for orca whales, basking sharks, dolphins, seals and of course otters which inhabit the crystal clear sea. But he can’t avoid the fact that exploring the islands, bays and inlets in search of some of the UK’s most spectacular wildlife, won’t keep him fed, so starts his endeavors to rear his own animals and grow some vegetables. Needing advice he heads to Orbost Farm, to meet Rachael and Keith, who become his animal rearing mentors.

So will the reality match up to the fantasy?

This fascinating series starts on Sunday the 1st of March at 9pm on BBC2 and for any lover of the great outdoors, wildlife and the islands it really is a must! Unforgettable locations, never-ending horizons, and an escape from reality.
