As the countdown continues to Nancy Blackett's next TV appearance, former Nancy Blackett Trust Chairman Peter Willis met David Dimbleby at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich last week.

Mr Dimbleby gave a talk about his new BBC TV series "Britain and the Sea", in which Nancy Blackett appears as part of the final episode next Sunday. Filming took place at Pin Mill in September.

This will be her second television appearance this year, having been featured on "Countryfile" in April. "Britain and the Sea: Pleasure and Escape" is due to be broadcast next Sunday at 9PM on BBC1.
