Pirates of Pin Mill

Thu 5 Dec 1996 - Wed 1 Jan 1997

A swash-buckling East Coast adventure!

Weigh anchor, hoist the Jolly Roger and set sail with us on a madcap, maritime, musical adventure.

Wizened old bargemaster Bob is the proud skipper of one of the few remaining sailing barges on the SUffolk and Essex coast in the early 1930s. His way of life is about to disappear forever. The new lorries have stolen most of his trade and the bank manager's on his tail. There's no easy way out. To make matters worse, a snooty MP puts his oar in where it's not wanted and Bob's niece Beth turns up with a passion for piracy, leaving a lover in London. Before they know it, Beth, Bob and dirtyshirt yachtsman Jim get caught up in an action-packed adventure from Pin Mill to MAldon, dodging the police and the high tides along the way.

Will Bob's boat be saved? Will Beth find true love? Or will the tides catch them all out, leaving them stranded in Manningtree? There's only one way to find out...
