Seagulls Over Sue Ryder

Episode 1 of 6

Beauty Olonga is a carer and a self-appointed inspiration. Stars Jocelyn Jee Esien and Felicity Montagu. From October 2009.

Beauty Olonga works as a carer for the Featherdown Agency and sees herself as an inspiration to other African girls hoping to achieve their goals in the land of semi-skimmed milk.

See Britain through her eyes - its overheated houses, its disappointing church services and its over-fondness for cauliflower cheese.

In this opening episode, Beauty discovers the glories of Weston-super-Mare's charity shops and experiences the disappointment of her first British funeral.

Comedy by Christopher Douglas and Nicola Sanderson.
