ISLE OF WIGHT: JEWEL OF THE SOUTH

8PM, CH5 ★★★

It’s the final visit of the series to the sunny island off the south coast of England, and we meet more of the people who live and work on the Isle of Wight. Those picture-postcard scenes (above) are not without their upkeep, and we follow thatcher Darcy Muncer as he restores roofs using centuries-old methods. But not everything stays the same, here as anywhere. From busy B&B owners to farmers, restaurateurs and opera-singing festival organisers, this episode is filled with stories of the islanders who have moved with the times.
