Downderry
Richard King accompanies Natasha Carthew as she returns to Downderry, the Cornish village where she grew up.
Ten coastal encounters, presented by Richard King.
Today: accompanying the writer Natasha Carthew on a visit to Downderry, the Cornish village where she grew up.
Not simply town or countryside, the coastline is a place apart 鈥� attracting lives and stories often overlooked.
In these ten programmes, Richard King travels around the UK coast to meet people who live and work there 鈥� a sequence of portraits rooted in distinct places, which piece together into an alternative portrait of the UK: an oblique image of the nation drawn from the coastal edge.
Natasha Carthew's memoir about growing up in Downderry is called Undercurrent (Hodder & Stoughton).
Producer: Martin Williams
