Falklands - The Final Chapter

It is winter in the Falklands, and the Rev Richard Hines is almost at the end of his seven-year posting as rector of the largest Anglican parish in the southern hemisphere. But there is much-needed pastoral care to be done before he leaves. On Pebble Island, Arina and partner Raymond are leaving the farm that their families have had connections to for over 100 years. Their tenancy is up and they are moving from their deserted island to the capital, Stanley, with over 2,500 inhabitants. Richard drops in to see if he can help them through this difficult time. George the king penguin is in the care of the Falklands Conservation team after he was found covered in oil. Local vet Steve Pointing visits and oversees a swim to see if George is fit enough to be released back into the wild. Meanwhile, resident taxidermist Steve Massam puts the finishing touches to his long-term project at the museum - a diorama of all the exotic wildlife in the Falklands.The islanders also pay fond farewells to the Rev Richard and his wife Jen - making him an honorary member of the South Atlantic Medal Association - a rare honour. Richard then gives his final service at the world's most southerly cathedral and bids a sad farewell to these islands that have meant so much to him.
