Documentary following Britons looking to live the high life on a low budget in some of the country's favourite holiday resorts.

Following a fresh crop of hard grafters who weave holiday magic for visitors to the popular seaside towns of Skegness and Blackpool. First up is Belinda, an entertainer and singer who lives in Skegness. It's been a tough couple of years for Belinda, as the gigs she needs to survive simply haven't been happening. But she's got a good feeling about this season, and she finally has a booking at her local village hall, where there will be a very special guest in attendance.

In Skegness, John Nuttall takes on a young apprentice for his donkey rides business when his daughter Talia reveals she will be away for the majority of the busy summer season. Over in Scarborough, Miles and his group of volunteers are determined to clear the beach of any plastic and rubbish before the tourists arrive for summer.

In this episode, we meet a fresh crop of the hard grafters who weave holiday magic for visitors to the iconic seaside towns of Scarborough, Skegness and Blackpool. Taj and TK Bola, serial entrepreneurs in the seaside town of Skegness, have hatched another brilliant business plan. They run a bar and nightclub complex near the seafront and are opening up a whole new floor dedicated to creating photo-worthy ‘Instagram Moments' for their holidaymaker guests. There's a lot of work to do in order for the floor to be ready — with building work to finish, giant props to put in place and an Italian supercar to polish that's been lifted in to wow the customers! We're there with the pair on opening night as they nervously wait to see if customers are drawn to the new floor and whether all the investment will work. Over in Blackpool, entertainer Max is working with his troupe of dancers, singers and contortionists to stage a new show in one of the resort's hotels. Behind the scenes during rehearsals, we see the work that needs to be done to perfect the individual performers' routines and some of the risky, potentially bone-breaking moves they have to pull off. A lot depends on the opening night — because the hotel's management team are in town to watch. If Max and the team can nail their performance, they could be awarded a six-month contract for the show. But with lots of technical issues cropping up, can they keep their calm? We also meet Debbie, a fundraising whizz working for a local animal sanctuary charity. Debbie is totally passionate about raising money for a good cause — and doesn't mind looking silly in the process! This week, she's getting ready for a local fair where she's aiming to raise awareness of the charity and £200 to go towards the care of the animals. But, first, she's got to source and try on the most flamboyant, animal-themed fancy dress possible. Once at the fair, will her clucking marvellous outfit draw the crowds and attract the cash?

Scarborough gift-shop owner Miles has a plan to sell his own brand of water from the stores and has had a special label made up to stick on the bottles, while Blackpool cafe owners Lisa and Kurt are opening a nostalgic film and video store.
