Tiny Islands

Storyline

According to the Ordnance Survey, there are 6289 islands scattered across the waters surrounding the UK but only 803 are large enough to be drawn on a map and even fewer of these islands are inhabited. What these tiny islands lack in size they make up for in natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and cultural heritage. This documentary mini-series will examine some of Britain's tiniest islands. Across each episode we will learn about the past inhabitants, from saints to prisoners of war, and meet the extraordinary people, from farmers and fisherman, artists and monks, who live and work on these rugged and breath-taking landscapes today. This remarkable series will celebrate these small but perfectly formed worlds, delving into the gripping local history and sharing the traditions and folklore of the communities who live there.
