4. Marooned on Anglesey

Episode 4 of 5

Lemn Sissay visits another pub with the Queen's name to meet her thirsty subjects from Amlwch on the Isle of Anglesey. From 2006.

On the island of Anglesey, Amlwch is one of Britain's most deprived towns.

Inside The Queen's Head, a sign above the bar reads 'No Expectations, no disappointments'.

Will the drinkers live up to their bleak motto?

Continuing his tangential celebration of the Queen's 80th birthday, poet Lemn Sissay meets more of Her Majesty's subjects in pubs that bear her name.

Producer: Philip Sellars
