Power to the people....

This programme marked the first of a new BBC2 series as Tim Samuels joined the residents of Lanreath, a small Cornish Town which like many similar small villages in the UK is under threat. Samuels and the villagers, which included Morris Dancers, farm animals, children and old age pensioners travelled enblock to London to protest about what is happening to Lanreath and to save their tiny local school. Alas the collective best efforts to save the school failed but the people of village did manage to reopen the local post office and the local pub. You cannot help but admire the spirit of communities like those of Lanreath. Samuels comes across well and the series is one to look out for.
