Madeleine Bunting & Alan Meades: Seaside Fun

The British famously like to be beside the seaside, but what is it about the seaside that gives it such an enduring appeal and sense of fun?
Acclaimed writer Madeleine Bunting, author of The Seaside: England's Love Affair, considers the joy and history of seaside towns and the games played there with Alan Meades, author of Arcade Britannia: A Social History of the British Amusement Arcade and Professor of Game Design at Canterbury Christ Church University.
