By the Sea (1982 film)

By the Sea (full title The Two Ronnies Present – By the Sea), is a 1982 BBC television film starring The Two Ronnies, and written by Ronnie Barker under the pseudonyms "Dave Huggett and Larry Keith". It was the follow-up to another Two Ronnies film, The Picnic, which featured several of the same characters.

The film follows the extended family of "The General", played by Barker, as they go on an eventful seaside holiday. It is set on the Dorset coast in "Tiddly Cove", actually the coast between Bournemouth and Swanage. The film is completely free of speech; there are various sound effects and vocalisations, and a score by Ronnie Hazlehurst, in their place.
