Jodie RoseHOST
I'm walking down the Harbour Hill in Sark.
Jodie RoseHOST
And I am on my way to catch the ferry to go over to Guernsey, stay the night at my in-laws.
Jodie RoseHOST
And then tomorrow morning, I'm going to be flying to Manchester and then getting the train to Camerbon.
Jodie RoseHOST
Well, actually, the train to Bangor, where I will spend a bit of time in the day.
AndyAUDIENCE
I'd just like to ask why.
AndyAUDIENCE
If the migrants were picked up 35 miles from the French coast and 35 miles from the English coast, why weren't they taken to the nearest point of refuge, which would have been Jersey or Guernsey or Alderney? Why were they shipped all the way over to Portsmouth? Well, there's no
Nick FerrariHOST
facilities for them there, and you're only going to have to bring them across from Jersey to the mainland anyway.
AndyAUDIENCE
Well, I think I disagree with that, Nick, because the emergency services, their remit is to take people in distress to the nearest port of refuge.
Nigel BruceVOICE_ACTOR
And now settle yourself down, and I'll get on with tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure.
Nigel BruceVOICE_ACTOR
Where did it take place? You may not be familiar with the names of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, but those are the four principal islands that make up the group known as the Channel Islands.
Harry BartellHOST
Oh, yes, Doctor, I have heard of them.
Harry BartellHOST
They're somewhere in the English Channel, aren't they? Between the southern coast of England and the northern coast of France?
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Mm-hmm.
DebbieHOST
But we also have to talk about other things that have happened in the week, including we've now made Guernsey 75% more gay than it was before we arrived.
DebbieHOST
We've had the time of our lives in Guernsey.
DebbieHOST
We had a
NeilHOST
brilliant time, didn't we?
50 MINS LATER
NeilHOST
one-off as well, yeah, exactly.
NeilHOST
Do you know
DebbieHOST
what else is brilliant, Neil? What? Gear change, Ellie from Guernsey.

While in the Channel
Jo FoxCORRESPONDENT
Islands, the BBC reports that whilst pupils in the Bailiwick of Guernsey had a pass rate of 71% for grades 4 and above, maths grades were disappointing and patchy.
Jo FoxCORRESPONDENT
The President of the Education, Sports and Leisure Committee told reporters that the outcomes would take a while to process and that school-specific breakdowns for 624 pupils sitting their GCSEs this year would be released in the coming weeks.
Jo FoxCORRESPONDENT
The figure of 71% of grades 4 and above for GCSE or equivalent is higher than grades across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Nick BriggsHOST
Pardon? You're a fan of the Chilands, aren't you? The Chilands, yeah.
Nick BriggsHOST
Well, I've certainly been to Jersey and Guernsey and the other bits and bobs around there.
Nick BriggsHOST
How many of them are there? Oh, ask Google, because there's Sark, which is a tiny, tiny one.
Nick BriggsHOST
You carry on and I'll do the research.
Benji CliffordHOST
Well, the islands are...
Benji CliffordHOST
There are lots of them.
Benji CliffordHOST
There are a number of inhabited islands, which are Alderney, Sark, Herm, Guernsey, Jersey and Grande Isle.
Benji CliffordHOST
Is that it? I think that's how it's said, maybe.
ZachHOST
Yeah, this is it.
ZachHOST
Just around this corner it opens up to a nice view of the west coast of Guernsey and some beaches and the Dolmen itself.
ZachHOST
Just hope we're not going to intrude upon any rituals.
ZachHOST
or afternoon teas or whatever.
Ollie GuillouHOST
So it has its roots are not exactly savoury.
ZachHOST
Yeah, and I do feel like I'm doing something wrong, like I'm trespassing or doing something slightly disrespectful.
ZachHOST
But I hope our focus on the history and how important this place is to Guernsey history, you know, helps not offend anything.
Ollie GuillouHOST
Anything or anyone.

Section 50 In Guernsey To Theodore Watts What? The heavenly bay, ringed round with cliffs and moors, Storm-stained ravines and crags that lawns inlay, Soothes, as with love, the rocks whose guard secures the heavenly bay.
Raven NotationNARRATOR
O friend, shall time take ever this away, This blessing given of beauty that endures, This glory shown us not to pass, but stay? though sight be changed for memory, love ensures what memory, changed by love to sight, would say, the word that seals for ever mine and yours, the heavenly bay.

ArchieHOST
There's no fun username.
ArchieHOST
Andy from the Channel Islands, specifically Guernsey, emailed in to say that you have another listener in the Channel Islands.
ArchieHOST
And he did correct Alex's World War II knowledge, saying the whole of the Channel Islands were occupied during World War II, not just...
Chris AllenPANELIST
Hang on, that's the point of liberty, the Channel Islands being not the Nazis.
