Whicker's World

Husbands Shy Clear of Me, Boy...! (5x1)

Fecha de emisión: Jul 27, 1970

Whicker visits Norfolk Island, a tiny piece of paradise drifting through the South Pacific where the descendents of the Bounty Mutineers live, the seamen who set Captain Bligh adrift in an open boat and returned to their Tahitian women. Today most islanders are still called Young, McCoy, Adams, Quintal, making isolated Norfolk an 18th Century storeroom of people - the way we used to be, once upon a time. They speak a unique dialect, a soft and joyful blend of West Country English and Tahitian. Their most indomitable character is Girlie Christian, 76-year-old descendant of Fletcher Christian who tells an extraordinary story. Girlie is a television original.
