The Butlin's Story
Documentary celebrating 75 years since Billy Butlin opened his first holiday camp, an enterprise that went on to become a British institution. Broadcaster David Jacobs recalls how he was stationed at Butlin's in Skegness during the Second World War, while other famous names such as the Beatles' Ringo Starr, TV presenter Stephen Mulhern, rock band Status Quo, former athlete Kelly Holmes and comedian Roy Hudd describe the contribution the camps made to their careers. Holiday-makers reveal how they met their spouses and honeymooned there, while archive footage brings to life the ups and downs of Butlin's through the decades. Narrated by Liza Tarbuck
