From the Bournemouth
Festival, to celebrate the Year of the Pier,
Max Bygraves introduces an "end-of-the-pier" show in the time-honoured tradition of the concert parties that used to entertain holiday crowds on the beach and on the piers. The Impromptus - Louise Plowright , Nicola Smythe , Alan Moore ,
Stephen Tate and John Telfer - revive the spirit of the outdoor entertainers with songs, comedy routines and sketches.
Gavin Henderson , President of the National Pier Society, traces the evolution of the pleasure pier from landing stage to theatre stage. And Tony Staveacre talks to three performers with roots in the seaside entertainment tradition - Roy Hudd , Leslie Crowther and Bill Pertwee
, author of Promenades and Pierrots.
Producer Tony Staveacre
