Tales from Pleasure Beach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tales from the Pleasure Beach was a three-part drama series broadcast on BBC Two in 2001. Each episode featured a self-contained story, against the backdrop of a seaside amusement park.

The series was written by Welsh playwright Roger Williams and received a BAFTA Awards nomination for Best Drama Series, but was beaten to the award by Cold Feet.

Filmed at Coney Beach Amusement Park in Porthcawl, South Wales, and Aberavon, Port Talbot, the series included performances from Ruth Jones and Rachel Isaac, both better known for their appearances in Little Britain and The Office, respectively, as well as Eve Myles from Torchwood and Siwan Morris from Skins and Mine All Mine.
