A visit to Blackpool on the eve of the opening.
The Royal Agricultural Society's showground represents a great feat of organisation. This visit shows something of the problems overcome by the planners of this immense undertaking.

Jack Hulbert in 'The White Sheep of the Family'
A comedy by L. du Garde Peach and Ian Hay

Time: The Present

James Winter is a most respectable crook. He lives comfortably in Hampstead, belongs to three distinguished clubs, is a pillar of the local church, and more than friendly with a neighbouring Scotland Yard inspector; he is also the beau ideal of burglars, and his anonymous, light-fingered exploits by night even command the grudging respect of the police, who recognise an artist at work. Naturally enough, James has brought up his family in accordance with his own high lack of principles. His daughter Pat is a charmer who can deprive a Duchess of her diamonds at Covent Garden without for a moment ceasing to enjoy the opera; his son, Peter, shows incomparable promise as a forger. Even the housemaid, Janet, is given every chance to become a fully fledged pickpocket. In short, everything in Hampstead goes happily until the ghastly day when Peter threatens to go 'straight'! (Peter Forster)
