The Prospectors of Penzance

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The divers that used to be in this neck of the woods ten years ago came from all parts of the country ... Most of them. it's fair to say, were drop-outs from society: ex-guardsmen, ex-professional men, people that got fed-up with the rat-race ... It was almost like the California Gold Rush.
Blain Fairman spends a day with three of the men who stayed on. goes out with them gathering sea-urchins and collects some divers' tales of friendly dolphins and embarrassed sharks.
