Shorts: Falmouth to Land's End S00 E17

Neil Oliver explores the lasting legacy of black American GIs who came to Britain to prepare for D-Day. Neil also performs the lead role in an extract from Shakespeare's The Tempest on the stage of a remarkable coastal amphitheatre near Land's End. He discovers how this unique theatre was built thanks to the obsession of one woman determined to stage the Bard's famous play in the open air next to the sea at her home in Cornwall.
