Michael Palin drew on his own memories of family holidays in grey, provincial seaside resorts for this coming of age comedy set in the late 1950s. Sleepy, ultra-respectable Suffolk might suit his parents, but sitting in deckchairs and visiting local churches is not 17-year-old Richard's idea of fun. In this holiday hell he meets fellow teenager, Edwin - young, good-looking and girl-crazy, and willing to take the naïve Richard under his wing... Escaping the seaside stalag B&B and its gargoyle of a landlady, as well as the gruesome couple whom his parents have invariably befriended, Richard joins Edwin in a desperate search for excitement in this stuffy coastal town. Soon, a gorgeous young woman who instantly ignites his imagination, a feisty young Dutch girl and a group of local bikers, make the holiday an eye-opening experience as Richard finally discovers love, lust and the joy of jazz cafés.

 Stunningly funny 80s British comedy

| | See all Scroopster's reviews (1)

I have loved this programme ever since I saw it in the late 80s. It is a subtly funny "coming of age" story, which at the time really struck a chord with me. Palin, of course, needs no introductions & the cast is some of the finest of British comedy actors of the era.

Every scene is splendidly acted out & the story flows so well that you can easily forget it is a set of scenes & not just a fly-on the wall programmes.

I have been looking for this for years & will definitely be ordering it & I urge everyone else to do so.

It is a masterpiece - buy it!!

Richard Burrill has to suffer a 2 week holiday with his parents. He really don't want to be there........'Why can't we go to Torquay' he asks.
They stay in a guest house which is ran by Miss Wilbraham (joan sanderson) she plays the part of a really ghastly landlady (brilliant stuff)
Richard meets up with Edwin Macklin and they both start chasing after the young ladies.
A brilliant play written by Michael Palin for a BBC Screen Two in 1987.
Set in the 1950s it captures the period so well. If you buy this one you will not be disappointed.
Filmed on location at Southwold.
