Members of Equals IW recently met with Colin a Producer from by Daisybeck Studios, to learn about a programme being produced during this summer on the Isle of Wight. The programme will be shown on national television and will be all about people living and working on the Island.
Colin spoke with each person to learn more about how they came to Isle of Wight, what they do for work or spare time, and how they find life on the Island.
