An Island Parish

Series 8 - Sark Winter

Episode 6: The Times They Are A-Changing

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

This final episode of the series covers the delicate position that Sark finds itself in as it balances its uniquely old-fashioned qualities - the ones the visitors flock to experience - against the arrival of the 21st century and all the modern initiatives that brings.

Rosie Guille organises a visit from respected artists to capture the beauty of the island and highlight conservation issues, but the arrival of a huge road maintenance machine - the MeriCrusher -represents the future, doing a job that road gangs of out-of-season fishermen used to do.

Methodist lay preacher Karen Le Mouton has dedicated the last three years of her life to the people of Sark, but now, on the verge of beginning ordination training, she and her congregation must come to terms with the idea that she may have to leave her beloved Sark. Show less
