A Tale of Two Islands (Parts 4 and 5)

I'm sorry, but Shakespeare did NOT have Corfu in mind as his setting for The Tempest.

I very much doubt whether Homer had Corfu in mind when imagining the island of Scheria in The Odyssey, but that's a little more complicated.

For more on this topic, I have written about it at some length in "The Ionian Islands and Epirus, A Cultural History".

Even The Rough Guide gets it wrong.

No other comments on Part Four of "A Tale of Two Islands"

Or on Part 5

Was part 5 scheduled deliberately to be shown on the same evening as "The Inbetweeners". What was fact and what was fiction- young people misbehaving in Kavos, Corfu or in Malia, Crete?
