Welcome to The Shetland Islands – an archipelago of wonders, unlike anywhere else in the world.
In this series we come ashore in this magical world, where seabirds outnumber people by a factor of many hundreds and where you’re closer to the Arctic Circle than you are to London. We meet native Shetlanders who live according to centuries’ old traditions, feeding themselves at the ‘croft’ farms that have fed the locals for many centuries, or the fishing fleets that have wrenched precious sustenance from the ever-powerful sea.
Watch the first episode on Channel 5 at 9pm on Sunday 26th May!
