Pitcairn - The 'Bounty' Inheritance
For Glynn Christian , an expedition under sail to Pitcairn Island is the fulfilment of a life-long dream: after all, he is a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian , history's most famous mutineer, and 'father' of Britain's strangest colony - the most remote inhabited island in the world.
Glynn went to discover the truth about his ancestor, a much less-known figure than Captain Bligh. Did Christian die on Pitcairn in a bloody massacre, or did he secretly return to live as a fugitive amid the English Lakes?
But Glynn discovers that the real reward of the Bounty lies with his distant cousins, the present-day Pitcairners - generous, brave, warm-hearted, and isolated.
As their 200th anniversary as a British colony approaches, Glynn Christian finds that the Pitcairners will need our help if their fascinating community is to survive. Directed by TED COCHRAN

The 1986 Formula One World Championship
The Monaco Grand Prix
The Monte Carlo jet set really will be upstaged by the Formula One circus this year. Three different winners in three races so far, and two Brazilians - Nelson Piquet
(Williams) and Ayrton Senna (Lotus) - trying for the lead in the World Championship.
Snapping at their wheels for points is 'The Professor' -
Alain Prost - who ran out of petrol as he crossed the line first at Imola two weeks ago. Watch out too for alterations to the tight street circuit of the Principality which could increase average lap times and make for even more exciting racing.
