Brenda Pearson won the award for Best Actress in a Cameo Role.We all like to be beside the seaside and as everybody knows, an Englishman's home is his sand castle. Stan and Bernice Billet and William and Margaret Patterson have been taking their holidays in the same resort for years. They don't exactly rule the waves but they have turned the area around their beach huts into a cosy little fiefdom. And then along comes Doug, with his nubile nieces. They don't give a hoot for beach hut protocol - they just want to have fun in the sun.
William and Margaret settle down for a nice day |
The Billet family arrives |
Ida sits on the wrong bit of beach! |
Doug and the girls arrive |
The protest begins - 'this is a public beach' |
William has made new friends |
Doug and Pauline tell the family |
Farewells on the last day |
