Jersey And Guernsey on SBS – Jersey and Guernsey celebrates the breathtaking natural beauty and rich historical heritage of these beautiful channel islands, by following the lives of residents whose families have lived there for generations.
Delving into personal and family histories, we’ll get to understand the heritage of the islands and what makes them unlike anywhere else in the world.
Episode One:
In Jersey, local ceramicist Claire Haithwaite heads out to the stunning Grouvelle beach. With her bucket and spade and canine companion Betsy, she sets of on a 1.5 kilometre hike across the sand in low tide, in search of the precious Jersey clay which she uses to make her bespoke pottery pieces.
In Grouville, eighth generation Jersey farmer, Phil Le Maistre and his dad are using a 100 year old hand plough to harvest the season’s first crop of Jersey Royal Potatoes, but it’s a race against the elements to get the regal spuds out of the ground and onto the boat to meet the tight supermarket deadline.
