the idea that this is a place that nobody intended to live in, but somewhere that people have somehow ended up living by default is just insulting.
I started watching it but stopped because I could tell it was such a hatchet job. The way they filmed people at slightly odd angles was a dead giveaway that they wanted to make people look odd. Having seen a programme last week on Channel 4 about Boston in Lincolnshire where my husband comes from and knowing that they were giving a one-sided view I was pretty sure that Frinton was suffering the same fate. It's always an education to watch a TV programme about something you know about, they invariably get it wrong!
All I can say is they should have had the bloody cameras there on a Summer Sunday when you can't park for love nor money

That's a shame. Those empty beaches look lovely.
