BBC Two - The Fisherman's Apprentice with Monty Halls, Episode 6

Monty Halls asks the fishermen to consider new ways of working.

As Monty's time as a fisherman comes to an end, he tries to introduce a new way of selling the catch, but a massive winter storm throws the whole project into jeopardy.

Monty's time as a traditional inshore fisherman in Cornwall is coming to an end. Before he leaves, Monty wants to see if an idea from the USA could help the fishermen by selling fresh, seasonal produce direct to local consumers. Monty will have to convince the skippers to work in a new way - and the local people to try new species of fish. With Christmas just around the corner, the whole project is thrown into jeopardy when a massive winter storm rolls in off the Atlantic, preventing the fishermen and Monty from getting out to sea.
