The outside world comes calling and as one family leaves the island early, the others start to realise their days on the 1900 island are numbered. It鈥檚 a fond if tearful farewell.

It鈥檚 the final week for the four families on The 1900 Island, living in a time of hand-to-mouth existence and hard physical graft, at sea and at home. With a last minute haul of fish, everyone is counting down the days. But as the outside world comes calling, modern mechanisation hits their rural idyll, prices plummet and there is a rude awakening for the men and women on the island. They resort to cockling and gathering shellfish to makes ends meet and one family contemplates leaving the community for opportunities elsewhere.
