Directed by Terry Bedford

HARBOUR LIGHTS was BBC TV Drama starring Nick Berry consisting of 16 episodes over 2 seasons broadcast between 18th February 1999 to 28th May 2000. Mike Nicholls (Nick Berry) a former Royal Navy officer returns home to Bridehaven to take on the role of Harbourmaster.

Series One chronicles low profile storylines in a sleepy Harbour Town however Series 2 features more dynamic action paced storylines.
Both Nick Berry & Matilda Ziegler appeared previously in Eastenders creating an unlikely chemical triangle with Tina Hobley however by Season 2 producers desired a new formula & many virtuous characters disappeared from the fold subsequently wrapping up after only 6 episodes. Both series are equally entertaining but different in style, content & pace.
