The Skipper

on BBC One London

The last programme in the series following the life of a Newlyn fisherman.
Roger Nowell owes £38,000 in tax arrears. Untroubled by this, Roger takes a rare holiday, sailing a 60-year-old Newlyn trawler across the Channel to a French festival of classic boats. His wife Nell is left at home to worry about the implications of imminent bankruptcy. In France, the holiday turns sour. One of the crew falls, injuring his head, and the trawler dashes to the nearest port. More unwelcome news awaits Roger's return home. The bankruptcy papers have arrived.
