Description

The Saturday Live Summer Road Trip pulls into its final stop in Cromer, Norfolk where Reverend Richard Coles and Kate Silverton broadcast live from the Pavilion Theatre at the end of Cromer Pier. They are joined by Lesley Garrett, one of Britain's most popular sopranos, actor and writer Charlie Higson who found fame with the Fast Show, the double bass playing beatboxer Bellatrix and Steve Ignorant, lead singer of seminal punk band Crass, who became a Norfolk lifeboat man and part time Punch and Judy performer. Richard and Kate discover why the pier became a uniquely British institution from the man who has visited every single pier in the UK, Chris Foote Wood. Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke shares the music he treasures and the music he would like to pass on to future generations in his Inheritance Tracks. Plus Sir Michael Savory who has amassed Britain's largest private collection of tanks at Muckleburgh and Saturday Live reporter JP Devlin gives members of the audience a chance to say Thank You to the people they never got the chance to thank for a good deed done.
