“Four punk lads making a sortie into an amusement park where they antagonise other customers and come upon a group of teenage girls. However, they are consistently thwarted by the apparition of four spectral youths (the 'Knights Electric') who ultimately squire the girls away. Told with a remarkable fluency and gusto.” BFI Newsletter, August 1981
Filmed on location in 1997 at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the show was a six-part BBC documentary, which followed the day-to-day running of the park. It was mainly focused on the rides and the park managers, Jim Rowland and Keith Allen. The film crews also spoke to Geoffrey Thompson and Amanda Thompson, the director and producer of Stageworks Worldwide Productions (which directs, produces and choreographs the shows within the park.)
