    Episode 1

    Exploring some of the UK's smaller islands. On Alderney, retired teacher Suzy is happiest manning the Channel Islands' only working railway. Lundy off the north coast of Devon has been home to handyman Ian for just a year. At the other end of the British Isles, tiny Orkney island Papa Westray is a paradise for nesting seabirds. And in Wales, Johanna and her son Billy are maintaining their strong family connection to Caldey through their work.

    Episode 2

    The wildlife and community of Barra in the Outer Hebrides, home to the only airport in the world where a scheduled flight lands on a beach. The Scottish island of Cumbrae has a strong sense of community among the more than 1000 residents. Rutland Island, off the coast of County Donegal, was once home to a bustling herring industry. Although it's largely abandoned, and without a ferry service, islander families have returned and renovated their old homes on the 18th-century Duck Street. And in the English Channel, father and son Morgan and George show off Sark from the water.
