A raucous group of senior citizens swap London for the Essex coast.
This charming silent film charts a pre-war day trip to Southend-on-Sea, taken by a group of London pensioners who gather outside the Broadway Cinema, Walham Green. Book-ended by a cavalcade of buses taking the happy tourists to and from their destination, this film is filled with a bawdy knees-up spirit. It's all there, from ice creams and sticks of rock to people dancing on the promenade, dressed to the nines, high on life, the sea air and possibly a beer or three. This riotous time capsule is over all too soon and you get the feeling that the holiday was too. (Amanda Boxford)
