Description

Humorous look at a family's trip to the beach. A couple are seen trying to relax, reading the paper and listening to the radio, while their young son pesters them to play a game of cricket. Further annoyances arise when sand gets into the sandwiches and the father has problems lighting the gas burner to boil the kettle.

This film, along with thousands of others from across the country, can also be viewed online as part of BFI: Britain on Film - player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/
