I really enjoyed the first series of "This Fishing Life"
Easily the best documentary series I've seen since "Indian Hill Railways"
Takes you right into the lives of the people involved.
Thanks v much to ellsy.
good shout! enjoyed the Devon and Cornwall programme - and nice to see Sarah's Pasties in Looe featured as I have been there and had one.. great food for a lunchstop when you're cycling :)
Lovers of Cornwall would probably rather see a TV programme saying how horrible and overcrowded it is there, how much it rains, and lots of other reasons why it's over-rated and you really shouldn't bother going there.
Try watching the Simon reeve programme on Cornwall, I saw Rick stein saying what a unique place Cornwall is yeah London prices Bangladesh wages.
I think it's gonna be super-crowded there this year (no matter what stage restrictions might be in, then).
Those programmes are enjoyable to watch, however.
Yes, Reeve has grown in to a very good and perceptive presenter.
We've recently booked a week in a friend's cottage near Gorran Haven, just before the schools break up. We looked around and there was still some availability in good properties for those weeks, but it was going fast and later in July was stuffed.
Excellent spent a week in Looe the end of October loved it met some interesting skippers and wives with strong views on fishing best holiday for years.
If you like fish and chips the Coddy Shack is the plaice to go wonderful.
I was there (near Plymouth) a few years back. Totally smitten. I love Devon - partly as a result of the fantastic weather, I suppose.
