Nancy Blackett features in this evening’s episode of Meridian TV’s ‘River Walks’, hosted by Charlie Dimmock. Tonight’s programme focuses on the River Arun, and includes a section on Hillyards, the Littlehampton boatbuilder where Nancy Blackett was built. Nancy happened to be there herself when the programme was being filmed – revisiting her birthplace for the first time in 74 years – so a look around her, and interview with skipper Bryan Bonser, feature in the half-hour programme.
Schedule: Thursday 17 November, 7.30pm, ITV (Meridian region only).
