1973: Life On The Last Lighthouse
In David Gerrard's fascinating film we meet the men who maintain their lonely vigil at Bishop Rock Lighthouse in the 'Ships Graveyard' off the Isles of Scilly.
It's the last lighthouse for westward-bound ships, and the last still operating almost as it did under Queen Victoria's patronage.
