Episode 5

This time we're off to the legendary seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare with its historic pier and family-favourite donkey rides. We meet veteran ‘Donkeyman' of 70 years, Terry - with his much-loved herd - who is carrying on the tradition started by the Victorians. Without which the donkey rides, this iconic bucket-and-spade resort wouldn't be the same.

It's judgement time at Somerset's annual Festival of Transport where vintage vehicles reign supreme. Who will win prizes for best steam engines and most fabulous motorcycles? And will show organiser Tony's dream come true and see him tick off a true bucket-list experience?

We find out what life was like for the posh householders of Roman Somerset at an extraordinary authentic recreation of an ancient villa set in the grounds of the recently voted ‘World's Best Boutique Hotel'.

We head to Glastonbury to uncover one of Britain's oldest family fish and chip shops and meet the regular who's been dining there every week for the last 60 years.

And we discover the secrets of a mysterious island off the Somerset coast where just managing to land there is an achievement in itself.
