Actress Bryonie Pritchard, who has herself sung Scott's "Garden of Sleep" on stage, narrates the story, and Michael Strobel provides Scott's voice to bring his poems and prose to life. With music from Alistair Murphy, developed from Isidore de Lara's original Victorian theme, and film from Cromer, Overstrand, Loondon and even Niagara Falls, the life of Clement Scott and 'Maid of the Mill' Louie Jermy can be enjoyed on screen.

The Cromer Lifeboats tells the story of this famous lifeboat station, its crews and its supporters over the two centuries since it was founded in 1804. Henry' Shrimp' Davies recalls dramatic rescues in which he was involved. Still photographs from early years are complemented by modern footage of the 'Ruby and Arthur Reed II' lifeboat and the inshore lifeboat. Recollections of convoy 559 and the English Trader, including survivor Bill Redman, are part of the story from the war years. The three gold medals and the four silver medals won by lifeboat legend Henry Blogg in fifty years of service are recalled through animation and recollection.

A Cromer Year was our first venture into the video market. It's a look at just some of the events that go on in the town in a year. The HMS Cromer decommissioning, fireworks on the pier, the Carnival itself, the St John centenary parade, the Pier Centenary celebrations and fun and games along the seafront are just some of the occasions featured in the video. If you were at the carnival fireworks or the 'Strongest Man' event, running in or just watching the Waiter's and Waitresses races - or at any of the occasions on the video - there's a good chance you're a star of the programme.
