The journey begins on the tiny island of Noss, with wardens Jen and Sally. They are the only residents and live a truly off-grid existence – with no mains water, electricity or gas – and they even grow their own food in case they become stranded by the unpredictable weather. The upside is they have a front row seat to witness some of Shetland's most spectacular wildlife.

On Shetland's mainland, the islands' eponymous hardy breed of pony takes centre stage as renowned breeder Carole puts the newest addition to her stable through his paces before travelling to the annual Unst show. She hopes to capture a few rosettes, but her eye is on the prestigious trophy first won by her father over 40 years ago.

In Lerwick, we meet Elizabeth who arrived from Canada and never went home. Like many on these sparsely populated islands, she wears many hats. On this occasion, we learn how she combines her passion for food and cooking with her newest venture – as a hand on a mackerel fishing boat.

Another newcomer to Shetland is artist Janette. She captures her ideas on paper while literally out in the field, before returning to her studio to complete her stunning seascapes.

Shetland has a distinct musical culture, combining influences from Scotland and Scandinavia. One man keeping that heritage alive is fiddle-maker Euan. His handcrafted instruments are a labour of love, but in demand well beyond the shores of Shetland.

Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
