In episode one, Sweeny reflects on the unusual year that has passed discussing the effects of the pandemic on him personally and as a crofter in a tight-knit island community. He and his new friend Romesh Ranganathan get the opportunity to look back on how the programme they made together last year during lockdown had an impact on themselves and on a wider audience. He also buys some new hens from the Isle of Skye – hundreds of them!
