| Summary |
Neil Oliver travels to the Faroe Islands to discover how romance blossomed during the Second World War's Operation Valentine. He visits Glensanda, the site of Europe's biggest super-quarry, which provides rock for Britain's roads, and searches for sea eagles, recently reintroduced to the island of Canna. Meanwhile, armed with a simple ruler on a Scottish beach, Nick Crane learns how the challenge of measuring our coastline led to a new branch of maths. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) G CC |
