The Invasion of Islington

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC One Yorkshire

Presenter Tim Samuels joins an entire Cornish village, which is on the brink of extinction, as they pack up sheep, cows and morris dancers to travel en masse to London and seize the frappuccino-swilling New Labour heartland of Islington. Lanreath has lost its post office, shop, pub, bus service - and now their beloved primary school is under threat. Pushed to breaking point, the countryside comes to town to get its voice heard.
