Charabanc

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The day tri p by charabanc was once the only holiday many working people could take. Anna Pavord shares the memories of a group of pensioners in landlocked Oxfordshire about the journey and the seaside. Besides nostalgia for paddling in the sea and fish and chips on the beach, comes the story of Jack Brown who, at over 80, recalls his harsh working life and his almost apocalyptic rediscovery of the world through his annual trip to the seaside. Music Chris Isaac. Producer Beaty Rubens
