I know Morcambe ( where it was filmed) quite well so watched the programme with added interest. Earlier, on our local TV news, they interviewed a few locals who said they hoped that the programme would attract loads of tourists like other shows set in sea side towns would. I think that is unlikely as much of the town is very run down and sadly neglected.
I noticed that in the programme they managed to make the town quite appealing and pretty, not like that at all I'm sorry to say. Its a shame as it used to be a lovely resort in the 1960s when we would go for day trips.
I enjoyed the first programme and look forward to next week. Lets see if Morcambe attracts the trippers.
