You wonder if it’s impossible to make a bad programme about Britain’s islands. Mix that in with the highly-watchable Martin Clunes and you’ve got a recipe for success, surely?
Well, brace yourself for a surprise... Islands of Britain is indeed a terrifically enjoyable collection of days out on the islands of Britain.
Clunes overcomes his fear of heights to stand on top of cliffs and lighthouses, he drives over miles of sand at low tide to witness coronations and he heroically samples the delights of Islay’s whisky industry.
Everything is done with that big grin stretching across his face. Even playing the bagpipes sounds like fun. A pleasant way to while away time.
