大象传媒

The shipping forecast on 大象传媒 radio is as familiar as the sound of Big Ben chiming the hour. Yet recognisable though the sea areas are by name, few people give much thought to where they are or what they contain. Charlie Connelly sets off on a journey into the forecast to find out.

Charlie Connelly ends his voyage by discovering some legendary whiskey and land younger than himself.

"Believe me, you truly know you're getting on a bit when you're older than a flipping volcano."
