Editing Shipping Forecast (section)

===Film and television===
[[Terence Davies]]' film ''[[Distant Voices, Still Lives]]'', a largely autobiographical account of growing up in [[Liverpool]] during the 1940s and 1950s, opens with a shipping forecast from this period.

In an episode of the BBC sitcom ''[[Keeping Up Appearances]]'', a soon-to-be-sailing [[Hyacinth Bucket]] calls over the telephone for an advance shipping forecast, even though the yacht she and her husband Richard are to visit is moored on the Thames near Oxford. Names mentioned (in scene sequence) are: [[Fisher Bank|Fisher]], [[German Bight]] and [[Cromarty Firth|Cromarty]], [[Dogger Bank|Dogger]] and [[Heligoland Bight|Heligoland]] (also known as [[German Bight]]).

In an episode of the BBC sitcom ''[[Ever Decreasing Circles]]'', Howard and Hilda leave their neighbour Paul's house party early, explaining that they must get back to listen to the Shipping Forecast. Paul asks why, seeing as they have never owned a boat. Howard explains, "Well, it takes us nicely into the news."

A recording of part of the forecast is played over the opening and closing credits of [[Rick Stein]]'s 2000 TV series ''Rick Stein's Seafood Lover's Guide''.

In an episode of the Channel 4 television series ''[[Black Books]]'', the character Fran Katzenjammer listens to the shipping forecast because a friend from her college is reading it. She finds his voice arousing.

In the BBC sitcom ''[[As Time Goes By (UK TV series)|As Time Goes By]]'', the character Mrs Bale is obsessed by and constantly mentions The Shipping Forecast much to the befuddlement of the other characters.

Many characters in the 1983 children's cartoon, ''[[The Adventures of Portland Bill]]'' are named after features mentioned in the Shipping Forecast.

In the 2011 movie ''[[Page Eight]]'', the Shipping Forecast plays as the main protagonist Jonnie Worricker drives his car through London late at night.

In the movie ''[[I, Daniel Blake]]'', the titular character's late wife is said to have been a listener of the Shipping Forecast, with Daniel playing "Sailing By" on a cassette. The song is played at the end of the film at Daniel's funeral.

In the 2020 movie ''[[Supernova (2020 film)|Supernova]]'', depicting the caravan holiday of an American-British gay couple (Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth), the Shipping Forecast comes on the car radio, prompting the American to wonder aloud, "How many decades do you have to live in this country for that to make any sense?"

The actress [[Olivia Colman]] has said that listening to the Shipping Forecast through an [[In-ear monitor|earpiece]] helps her keep her emotions in check while filming some of the more emotional scenes on ''[[The Crown (TV series)|The Crown]]'', to accurately portray the cool and collected character of the monarch [[Elizabeth II]].<ref>{{cite news |title=The Crown star Olivia Colman 'listened to Shipping Forecast' to prevent tears in emotional season 3 scenes |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/olivia-colman-the-crown-season-3-queen-elizabeth-netflix-helena-bonham-carter-return-date-trailer-a8655916.html |access-date=28 December 2018 |newspaper=The Independent}}</ref>
