Teensville - Teens From a Small Island

Logo for Teensville - Teens From a Small Island

Blue Peter presenter and self-confessed city lover Andy Akinwolere takes some time off from his day job, and leaves the bright lights of London, to travel 14 hours, via two planes, two ferries and a taxi, to spend a week in Unst, Britain's most northerly inhabited island. His mission: to find out what life is like for teenagers living there. Unst is twelve by five miles, has three shops and a post office. There are no clothes shops, cinemas or sixth form education on the island, and with a population of approximately 25 teenagers, the teens' lives are very different to that of the average British teenager.
