Synopsis

Norman, the theatre manager has worked at the Pavilion Theatre at the end of the pier for forty years and is frustrated by the council’s plan to hand the place over to commercial management. They bring in Eddie Richards to ‘help’ with the winter programming. Eddie and Norman were teenage friends, but Norman doesn’t trust him. Sandra, Norman’s loyal assistant becomes increasingly concerned about Norman.

Eddie comes up with comically bizarre programming plans, which Norman vetoes. But Eddie is convinced that an Alma Cogan tribute artist will be a hit with older audiences. Norman is appalled – he once had an embarrassingly unconsummated one night stand with Alma and it has blighted his life ever since.

He also thinks that Eddie had an affair with Alma, but when Sandra assures him this didn’t happen, he supports his plan. During the hugely successful concert the lifeboat is called out and Norman volunteers. Sandra realises what her anxiety about this escapade indicates, so when Norman returns safely she is thrilled when he announces that he will retire and let Eddie run the theatre. She resigns as well to be a singer on a cruise liner – and Norman goes with her.

Inspired by TV programmes like ‘Police, Camera, Action’, Tash is giving a journalist (Ian Wiggins) unrestricted access to cover his operation.
