7 series returns with a new season focusing primarily on Britain today.
Sanctuary. Britain's estimated three million coarse anglers spend hours sitting immobile beside canals, rivers and lakes. By an idyllic stretch of water in Hampshire, and to a score from Van Morrison , unemployed brickies Dick and Allan consider their status and luck, while successful businessman
Ray ruminates on his wealth and recharges his batteries. On the surface, the film is concerned with the fishermen and their sport. But, as they talk, they chronicle many of the problems and frustrations facing people today. Director Ted Clisby
