The Fisherman's Apprentice is the story of our fishermen's fight for survival, told from firsthand experience. Accompanying the BBC 2 series of the same name, Monty spends a year working as a fisherman from Cadgwith Cove in Cornwall, the last defiant outpost of Britain's traditional fishing industry. Through relentless labour of working on his own boat and the drama of great spiralling storms, Monty experiences a way of life that is quietly dying. Exploring the impact of industrial scale trawling on our small-scale fishing industry, with consumer advice on how we can save it and sustain it for the future, this is the story of British fishing today.

Tough guy Monty Halls started his career in the Marines before leaving to study marine biology. He is a well-respected diver and has been the expedition leader for a number of adventurers and scientists. He has made three Great Escape series for BBC 2 and is the author of two tie-in books, Great Escape Beachcomber Cottage and Great Irish Escape.

This brand new series takes Monty to Cadgwith Cove on the Eastern tip of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, the last defiant outpost of Britain's traditional fishing industry. Through relentless labour of working his own boat and the drama of great spiraling storms, Monty experiences a way of life that is quietly dying.
