Staying with a couple, Ray and June, the islanders take an eye-opening tour of the town, but are shocked at the sight of the homeless on the streets. How can such a city with such wealth contain people with no homes or family? they ask. As a farewell, they perform their tribal dance for Ray and June before travelling on to stay with Sir Humphrey Wakefield at Chillingham Castle in Northumberland. Concludes tomorrow at 3.20am.
