Travelling the length of Britain from the Scilly Isles to the Scottish Highlands, James seeks out the country’s last remaining master craftspeople. 

Stepping inside the workshops of blacksmiths and wheelwrights, cutlers and coopers, bell-founders and watchmakers, we glimpse not only our past but another way of life, one that is not yet lost and whose wisdom could shape our future.

 For as long as there are humans, there will be craft. James Fox is an academic and multi-award-winning, BAFTA-nominated broadcaster, known for his many acclaimed BBC documentaries. He is Director of Studies in History of Art at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and Creative Director of the Hugo Burge Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting the arts and crafts across Britain.
