Second Episode Of Jewel Of The South Isle Of Wight To Air On Channel 5 Tonight

The second episode of Jewel of the South: Isle of Wight will air on Channel 5 this evening (Thursday).

The four-part series kick off last week, exploring how Islanders handle the challenges of a busy tourist season.

National treasure and Island resident, Alan Titchmarsh is the voice of the programme, which showcases all that's great about the Isle of Wight.

Alan told Isle of Wight Radio:

"The show is all about the Island and the families who work here. It was filmed last summer and we just look wonderful.

"I have been a part-time resident for over 20 years now, and I know the Island well. There are always people and stories that are being uncovered.

"It gives a wonderful explanation of the Island's riches, in terms of geography and natural features, and the different kinds of people who live here."

Tonight, we'll see singer Derek Sandy hosting Island Has Talent at Ryde's Eastern Gardens, while owner of Yarmouth's The George Hotel, Howard Spooner, will also feature.
