It is midwinter and the Rev Richard Hines and vet Steve Pointing are limbering up for the ultimate Falklands Islands challenge - the midwinter swim. This means plunging into near-freezing Antarctic waters and over 200 people have gathered in Surf Bay to honour this annual tradition. On West Falkland island, Dr Becky Edwards is facing a difficult decision - the job of chief medical officer at the Stanley Hospital is up for grabs. Will it be too disruptive for her young family if she has to spend much more time in the capital, leaving them behind on the family farm in Port Howard? And on board the Falkland Islands patrol ship HMS Clyde, captain Sarah Oakley is preparing to take part in the commemorations for Liberation Day.
