Lighthouse keepers at the Eddystone Lighthouse are renting a television from Rumbelows just in time for Christmas. Electric power was introduced to the Eddystone in 1959 and a keeper would stay on watch for eight hours at a time and a shift would last two months or more. Two years after this film the lighthouse became fully automatic bringing an end to 284 years of keepers of the Eddystone Light. Hopefully they were not tied into longer than a two-year contract.
