Prince of Muck

BBC Four, 9pm

Lawrence Macewan has been the Laird of Muck, a small island in the Inner

Hebrides, since the 1960s – and he’s determined to preserve its traditional ways in the face of his younger relatives, more inclined to modernity. Cindy Jansen’s beguiling documentary takes a balanced view of an ostensibly stubborn man with a love of cows and a tendency to rail against all manner of things over which he has little to no control.
