BBC film crew set to film camel race on Berrow beach

-

Film crews will descend on Berrow beach, near Burnham-On-Sea, on Wednesday (November 12th) when a new BBC series is shot there.

Two camels will go head-to-head in a beach race being filmed by the BBC Natural History Unit to test the skills of a new presenter they are trialling.

Tim Mander, Sedgemoor’s Strategic Property Manager, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “Whilst on this occasion the footage will not be broadcast, the choice of location once more illustrates the attractiveness and flexibility of the beach to film makers and the ongoing help and cooperation that Sedgemoor offers film and TV production companies.”

The filming is scheduled to be between 11am and 2pm on Wednesday 12th November 2008.

Burnham-On-Sea.com reported in June how Berrow Beach was being used to film a chariot race for a National Geographic TV programme about Egyptian Pharaoh, Ramisses the Great.
