In this archive edition, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Shelley Jory-Leigh visit The Needles lighthouse. They hear from Gordon Medlicott, one of the last keepers to live at the lighthouse before it was automated in 1994. Trinity House’s lighthouse manager Warren Clarke is on hand to give them a tour of the famous landmark, and attendant Sean Crane tells them how the light is maintained.
