A series of films going behind the scenes of places which are part of the British way of life.
Despite the age of the jet and the cheap package tour, the population of Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex still doubles during the summer season. This film reflects a typical day at the sea front with the people who have been coming here for years and the people whose job it is to entertain them and keep them happy. The film features the Punch and Judy man, the family who run a wild west show, and Brian and Charlie, the resident entertainers who love doing the season 'because we get just as much enjoyment here as we would at the Palladium or Las Vegas'.
