Arena - Season 1 Episode 341

With more visitors than the whole of Greece and more holiday beds than Portugal, Blackpool is Europe's most successful holiday resort. Growing to prominence in the Industrial Revolution it was a town 'built for fun'. Arena takes a look at this town, famous for its Tower, illuminations, formidable landladies and party political conferences. Exploring the British at work and play we visit the nightclubs, clairvoyants, politicians and guesthouses. Forty-two members of the George Formby Society playing musical tribute to their hero, memory man Tom Moreton, John Cole, Tony Benn, Norman Tebbit, Paul Theroux and a 50s' film star retracing her past are all beside the seaside.
