Last Summer by the Seaside

The seaside was quite a headline topic last summer, not only because of the remarkably hot weather but because of the Mod and Rocker riots and the girls who braved the new fashion of topless swimsuits. Tonight's film looks back at what went on in seaside resorts ranging from Brighton to Blackpool, from Pwllheli to Margate. More particularly you can follow playwright Charles Wood and his family on their annual holiday visit to his parents on the Isle of Wight.
