On Friday Points West showed old colour film of Weston-super-Mare on a bank holiday in the 1960s taken from a helicopter. The most amazing thing was the number of people packed into the town! It was from a 1960s programme called "Beside the Seaside" which was part of a series called "Birds Eye View" which is available to view at :- http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/ It mainly covers seaside towns in the southwest but Weston seems to get the most coverage around 20 mins from the start with Clevedon getting brief coverage just before.
