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 eight 90-minute 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 5 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, such as stately homes, led to an increase in visitor numbers.[3]
