Island Watch

Who doesn’t love sailing through an archipelago? We end each season of Island Watch with a wander back through the highlights: how we planned our itinerary, what island eats we ate, and what makes islands so darn watchable!

Happy face spiders, shrieking eels, the incredible origins of the bungee jump: the wonders of the largest body of water on the planet - including its 20,000+ islands - are laid out in the BBC documentary series South Pacific.

Can't get to the Caribbean? No worries, sunshine and deliciousness are on their way to you via the cooking show Ainsley's Caribbean Kitchen. Did we eat it up? Will you?

We visit occupied Guernsey during World War II in this fiction-based-on-fact account of how the people of the island tried to make it through those times. And we get an answer to the burning question: What is potato peel pie, really?!

Top End Wedding is top-notch: romance, laughs, a road-trip and picture perfect scenery. All that AND a visit to the Tiwi Islands in Australia’s top end?
