Episode 4

Embarking on the last leg of his 200-mile challenge, Iain and Molly head off from Clisham Hill on Harris.

Passing Loch Seaforth, Iain is jubilant about the milestone of reaching his tenth island. Reaching Baile Ailen, Iain and Molly are buoyed by the sight of some local deer.

Heading on towards Achamore, Iain and Molly find themselves on marshy terrain. However, Iain is upbeat in the knowledge that the next day will see him reach the walk's official end in Stornoway. On the nine-mile journey to Stornoway, Iain is joined by actor Kevin McKidd, and the pair discuss their heritage and their respective connection to the land.

Celebrating reaching the walk's official end in Stornoway, at Lewes Castle, they are pleased to be shown the Lewis chessmen by archivist Seonaid McDonald. Iain suggests that this would be a great place to finish the official walk, but he plans to extend the walk on to the Butt of Lewis.

However, there is one last detour as Iain joins up with with actor Alex Norton, with the pair planning to cycle across to see the Callanish Standing Stones, which are around 5,000 years old and predate even Stonehenge. A natural raconteur, Alex regales Iain with stories about his days with 7:84 and his time in Taggart.

170 miles into the walk, Iain heads towards New Tolsta and gets chatting to retired local Hector Morrison about growing his own produce. Despite covering 16 miles, Iain pushes on to Traigh Mhòr Beach, crossing one of Lord Leverhulme's industrial bridges on the final stage of his journey.

Storage Wars

Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.

Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
