Britain's Finest

Britain's Finest is a TV documentary series made by independent production company Lion Television, now part of All3Media for Channel 5 in the UK. The Executive Producer across the series was Bill Locke. [1]

The 8 x 1 hour 30 minutes series, split into two separate series of four episodes, the first in 2003 and the second in 2005, focuses on a wide range of Britain’s finest things, from buildings to gardens, actors to natural wonders, as voted for by Channel Five viewers and Radio Times readers.[2] Each episode has a lead presenter and includes a variety of additional specialists.

The publicity generated for some of the visitor attractions featured, for example, certain Stately Homes, led to an increase in visitor numbers. [3]
