1989: Great British Isles, Scilly. C4 'Scilly, The Land Of Lyonesse"

Filmed on Scilly and aired on Channel 4 in 1989, here is 'Great British Isles, Scilly, The Land Of Lyonesse'. Featuring people and places all over the islands. No index for this one, there are so many interviews and different people talking/views it was hard to get a nice list.
With thanks to Lesley and Phillip Jones at Crebinick Guest House on St Mary's for providing us the VHS tape.
