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?
Cape Breton Island is rated the #1 island to visit in continental North America by Travel & Leisure Magazine, but Mooney Pottie - the New Waterford Girl - can’t wait to hit the road to anywhere else. Just us, or anyone else willing to swap places with her?
Sunny islands, musical rom-com, and Trinidad and Tobago Carnival? It’s Bazodee! Did it leave us dazed, lightheaded and caught up in a magical moment?
The Wilds takes place on a beautiful south Pacific island ... with lots of mystery.
We're getting ready to launch the good ship Island Watch for all-new season 2 adventures. We visit near and faraway places by watching movies, TV shows and documentaries that are set on islands. Join us on our voyages across the seven seas for show reviews, commentary, conversation, quizzes and more. We leave port on January 25th.
"We're here, but should we have come?" asks Richard Ayoade on every Travel Man show. We hang out on Tenerife with the Travel Man as he travels with Lena Dunham in this bonus mini-episode.
It's our Archipelago special / season 1 finale: Our island extravaganza where where we solve Island Watch mysteries such as how we choose our islands (and why some missed the cut), what we ate, and why our theme music is so darn catchy.
From one "small island" to another, the story of Small Island ranges from Jamaica to England, during and just after WWII.
Why does this show set on a Spanish island have two foreign detectives as leads? Why is the island so important in this series? And where are the Mallorcans?
Kiribati is an island paradise in extremely clear danger of climate change. This episode is a chance to walk on the beach and contemplate that if things don't change, there'll be no beach to walk on.
We were pulled in for a stop at Magnetic Island to explore the delightful Izzy's Koala World for this special mini-episode. A cast of koalas. A precocious kid. Love and hugs galore.
Moana sings to the sea from her home island - and the adventure begins.
Remember when Tom Hanks seemed to be in every movie? He was in 13 movies just between 1990 and 2000, culminating with the release of Cast Away. His stardom meant carrying the 2 hour 23 minute movie almost entirely by himself. But he was never alone. The island was there for him, and the island is what we are here for too!
We settled in for a three-hour tour. Turned out it took only 25 minutes to watch the first episode/series premiere of Gilligan’s Island. Listen to hear how that went.
