About Sea Cities
From Sunderland, to Bristol, to Brighton, Sea Cities follows the stories of pure hard-work and love that keep our favourite ports and seasides afloat.
Sea Cities hears the stories of the communities where people do jobs that touch us all.
Over three episodes, Sea Cities will take viewers to Sunderland, Bristol and Brighton.
We will meet the lifters and shifters, the skippers and pilots, the engineers and riggers, the beachfront teams, the fishermen and entrepreneurs, and the trainees and the old hands.Â
We meet the people who keep everyone smiling – from Sister Mary in Sunderland to a Punch and Judy professor in Brighton, to the owners of an amusement arcade on the seafront.
Sea Cities allows each community to tell its own story.Â
Prepare to meet the incredible people who work hard to bring about change, keep traditions alive, entertain and take care of one another in Sunderland, Bristol and Brighton - three special places where the sea shapes lives in very different ways.
