Episode 1

It is summer, the sardine run is on and the ring-netters of Newlyn are on the hunt. Rebranded as Cornish Sardines, the pilchard has grown into a multi-million-pound industry for the Cornish fishermen.

Episode 2

Jason is joined by his sister Nicky, but with two of them to support the income from oysters alone is not enough so they have bought a trawler. The Henry brothers fish for 20 different species.

Episode 3

This edition looks at how the small fishing boats that make up 80% of the British fleet are coming under threat from industrialisation and a lack of new talent taking up the trade.

Episode 4

As autumn arrives in Cornwall, the biggest boats in the fleet fish through turbulent times offshore. But with Brexit looming, what does the future hold for these boats and the men that crew them?

Episode 5

Change is on the horizon in Newlyn, Cornwall’s biggest fishing port, as Brexit is coming. As the town prepares to navigate uncharted waters, the new harbour master is at the helm.

Episode 6

The documentary series returns. It's summer in Newquay, but Cornwall's most popular tourist resort has been in lockdown for months. With lost time to catch up on, and livelihoods on the line, the fleet steam into a summer like no other.

The Toms family resurrect the last boat built in Looe but find themselves on the outside of the modern fishing business. Fish merchant Sam Chapman is cutting out the middleman, buying in everything the Toms land.

Padstow is well known for its tourist industry, but there's another lucrative industry here. Padstow's fishermen land hundreds of tonnes of brown crab - most bound for the continent. But lockdowns bring everything to a standstill.

The rich fishing grounds of St Ives Bay have supported the fleets of two ports, Hayle and St Ives, for generations, but the fishermen of Hayle face a new threat - the largest residential and leisure development in south-west England.

Cadgwith Cove is Cornwall's last traditional full-time fishing cove. For generations, sons have followed fathers out to sea. Now, the next generation is set to join the fleet, but the working fabric of the cove itself is now under threat.

As the clock ticks down on Britain’s exit from Europe, Newlyn – Cornwall’s fishing capital - prepares for the challenges and opportunities Brexit may bring.

As Brexit brings new hope, can a new generation of fishermen save their traditional way of life?
