SEVERAL destinations across Dorset are set to feature in a popular TV show, which will be airing throughout next week.
Locations such as Weymouth, the Jurassic Coast, Charmouth and the north Dorset countryside all appear in episodes of Channel 4’s The Perfect Pitch.
The Perfect Pitch sees three couples, or families, of camping enthusiasts explore different areas of the country with the theme for next week's episodes being the Jurassic Coast.
The aim is to provide the ultimate guide to the very best campsites in Britain and help viewers plan their future holidays in the UK.
Initially the programme will start on Monday in neighbouring Devon before the guests make their way across county lines into Dorset.

The group then return to the coast for a white-knuckle boat tour, as they end their hunt for their perfect pitch back at camp with some extreme survival role play.
The editions filmed across the county were all shot in July of this year and is one of a number of shows shot in Dorset since 2020.
