Series 3

What's happened to Pilkington? James doesn't much care, he's far more interested in renewing acquaintance with the girl he silently adored as a teenager - but maybe she knows something.

Michael Palin's nostalgic comedy about a family holiday at a Suffolk seaside resort. Richard Burrill, a 17-year-old, is reluctantly dragged to Southwold with his parents, where he meets Edwin, another teenager who has very definite ideas about how to enjoy himself, and a young Dutch girl with an eye for the boys.

St. John Quartermaine, a teacher in an English language college for foreign students, his life revolving around work, seemingly without a social life of his own, is becoming increasingly absent-minded and forgetful.

Easter holidays in the charming seaside town of Dynmouth. The fair has come to town with roundabouts, the big wheel and a spot-the-talent contest. And Timothy Gedge wants to make people laugh - but he needs props.
