The Emerald Isles
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
Ardal O'Hanlon visits the Aran Islands, where a practising monk teaches him about their ancient Christian heritage. Further south, he finds a thriving seal colony on the abandoned Great Blasket Island and fossilised evidence of early life emerging from the sea on Valentia Island. This leg of his tour ends with a visit to spectacular Skellig Michael, a Unesco World Heritage site that's home to numerous puffins and the world's most dramatic ancient monastery
The Emerald Isles airs on BBC Two Wales HD at 2:40 PM, Saturday 22 March. (Subtitles, new.)
