The End of the Pier Show Cromer prides itself on mounting one of the few remaining old-style pier entertainments. The theatre, right on the end of the pier, is small and money is tight. There are no big stars, no expensive television names, and the audience dwindles year by year. Undaunted, ex-Folies Bergère dancer Bob Marlowe struggles against the odds to put a show together from a gallant band of old troupers and young hopefuls.
The singers have to dance, comics have to sing, and top-of-the-bill brothers
Gordon and Bunny Jay have to do everything to create the concert-party feeling which will bring some cheer to holiday-makers looking for a trip down memory lane after a day on the bracing coast of north Norfolk.
