This time on Tenby 24/7, | 0:00:01 | 0:00:04 | |
beach cleaner Ron bites off more than he can chew. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Somebody's lost their spare set. I found them on the beach. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
If anybody's lost them, you know who's got them. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
It's the summer spectacular and PC Nigel Lewis is on patrol. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
Earlier, some boys were up here and were chucking cans down, so, er... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
We're keeping an eye on things here now. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
And hotelier Malcolm has a problem with his wedding reception. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
Everything's set up, and no cake. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
This is seven days in the life of one of Wales's holiday hotspots. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Seven days with the people who work here to make the holidays a treat. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:46 | |
This is Tenby 24/7. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Hidden in south-west Wales is the seaside town of Tenby, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:58 | |
a holiday resort with not just one, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
but three sandy beaches, and each boasting a blue flag | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
for quality. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Keeping them in tip-top condition is essential. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
This because somebody had a party last night. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
They've bagged all their stuff up but they didn't take it with them. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
So, they leave it on top of the bin and then the seagulls come along | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
and empty every bag. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
Then I have to come along and pick it all up. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
For 18 years, Ron Jones has been keeping Tenby's beaches rubbish-free. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
And seagulls don't make his job any easier. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
I like seagulls? No. Because of this. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
Because they turn into scavengers. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Whereas they used to, I would imagine, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
fish in the sea, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
do a little dance, get worms. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
But they don't dance for this - they just rip it open. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
It just annoys me. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
I suppose everything's got to live. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Well, the thing is, when it's all done and dusted, people are lovely and clean, | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
and when they come down, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
to have a look down, the beach will be nice and clean, nothing for them to moan about, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:08 | |
and I'll get paid. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Hopefully. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
My teacher said, "Jones, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
"you'll be nothing but a binman," and what am I? I'm a binman. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
-Are you a happy binman? -Yeah. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Ron must have the beaches picture-postcard perfect. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
# And the sun was shining in his hair... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Before the bucket-and-spade brigade of holidaymakers hit the sand. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Tenby and tourism hit the big time | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
during the Georgian and Victorian eras. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
That influence can be seen in many of the places to stay in the town. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
At the three-star Giltar Hotel, owners Malcolm Brace | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
and his business partner, Pat Jenkins, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
are preparing for a local celebration. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Today, they are hosting a wedding reception for a Tenby couple. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
Everything OK? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Malcolm and Pat are aiming to get an extra star for their hotel. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
And an important part of their plan is holding wedding functions. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
Slowly beginning to come together. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
They've started doing the chair covers. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
It'll finish off with the bows at the end, so... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
And then you'll see the transformation. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
To me, it has to be laid to perfection. It has to look... | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
So when you come through the door, when it's all finished, | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
the bride, in particular, will say, "Wow!" | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
Ah, very good. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Oh, dear - the cake hasn't arrived yet. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Well, they were supposed to be here at 11:30am. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Everything's set up and no cake. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
So, we begin to get the jitters a little bit now. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
Hopefully now they will be here within the next quarter of an hour. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
If they're going to be any later, they'll be having a phone call. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
All right? So, we'll keep our fingers crossed. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
This is the busiest week of the year in Tenby. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
Nearly 50,000 visitors will flock to this small seaside town. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
One of the holiday highlights for both visitors and locals | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
is the Summer Spectacular in the town's harbour. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
This is all my list of jobs to do and make sure I've got the right stall to the right people. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:42 | |
So when they come down they've got what they want. So, I'll just check. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-Morning, mate. -Local restaurateur Dave Douglas Law | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
is the Tenby Round Table chairman and is in charge of this year's event. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
We try to keep it as charity-based as possible. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
This year it's been up to myself to rally round, | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
making sure everybody comes down with the right stall | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
and inviting the charity stalls down, sorting out all the entertainment, all the bands. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
But there is one thing Dave can't organise - the Welsh weather, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
which could make his grand finale a washout. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Just hoping that the rain stays away. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
The biggest choice today will be, if it rains this evening, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
which it's due to, whether the fireworks will go ahead or not. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Today, the locals are already asking for fireworks. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
A lot of people have come down to Tenby, they've booked their holidays around these events. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:35 | |
It's the main advertising slogan. The posters have the firework display. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
It says huge, spectacular fireworks. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
And the worst thing is, if they set them up and it rains, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
and we have to pull it, we still have to pay for it. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
So, a big chunk of the money that we raise today just goes on that. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
Each day, around 50 bags of rubbish are removed from Tenby's beaches, | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
and cleaner Ron hand-picks it all. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
It's not nice when you're sitting on the beach and you get a big, smelly fish next to you. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
No, not a very nice thing! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
I hate barbecues because they're dangerous. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
They've got a serrated edge - really sharp - like a razor blade. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
If you catch yourself on that, that's a stitching job, so... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
I always try and... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
fold them up. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
In my opinion, they should never be allowed. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
So I'll put it and I'll just fold it over. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
So there's no sharp edges. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
Here, you can get tons of stuff come in. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
You can be knee-deep in rubbish sometimes. Bits of timber and odds and ends, | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
false teeth, whatever. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
Like... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:50 | |
Like...somebody's left their spare set. I found them on the beach. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
If anybody's lost them, you know who's got them. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
It's nice to see the beach like this - empty. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
And clean. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
Emphasise the word, clean. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
It's nice. We don't want to come down and see rubbish everywhere. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
Thanks to Ron, the three Blue Flag beaches are now clean and safe for the public to enjoy. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:17 | |
Nearly 5,000 people are expected to descend on Tenby | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
for today's Summer Spectacular. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
Police Constables Nigel Lewis and Edith Thomas are on patrol. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:33 | |
Can I just ask if you know where you're going? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-Pardon? -The Grey Rock Hotel. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
The Grey Rock Hotel is there but it's pedestrianised. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
The large crowd making their way down to the harbour, | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
PC Lewis wants to make sure today's Summer Spectacular is safe for everyone to enjoy. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
I'm monitoring the only small element, and it's a tiny element, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:56 | |
of persons who may spoil things later. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
And that is the handful of boys that sit on the balcony up there, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
who, last week, unfortunately, decided to throw some things down into the crowd, | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
to the annoyance of the crowd. We'll watch that this week, | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
and if they put a step out of place, then we will give them direction to leave. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
But it's a free country. There's no requirement for us to move them now, | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
because they haven't done anything. That would be heavy-handed policing, really. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-Having a last-minute check on some of his sideshow attractions is Round Table chairman Dave. -Wahay! | 0:08:28 | 0:08:35 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
At the moment, just looking round, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
it's already a lot busier than, you know... | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
It's not even started, really, till the Samba Doc come down. You can hear them now. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
It's definitely them. So they'll bring a load in now. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
And this is what I wanted - perfect! | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
LOUD DRUMMING | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Ear plugs! | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
Only £1 | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Only £1. All for charity. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
There you go! | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:09 | |
welcome to Tenby Harbour on this beautiful afternoon | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
The Tenby Round Table Summer Spectacular 2011! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:18 | |
The wedding preparations are continuing. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
The bridal suite is ready. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
But Malcolm is still on the hunt for the missing wedding cake. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
Good afternoon, it's Malcolm here at the Giltar Hotel in Tenby. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
I'm just checking up on the wedding cake for this afternoon. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
You did ring me yesterday to say you'd be here at 11:30am. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
I'm now ringing, it's 2 o'clock and we haven't seen the cake. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
-Are you all right there for a minute, Tom? -Yeah. -I'm going to get on, then. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
The pressure is also on in the hotel kitchen. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
Cooking up the wedding banquet is not going to be straightforward | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
for 23-year-old head chef, Phil Sellars. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Thomas, come round. I want to talk to you guys. Right! | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
Today, as you know, we haven't got Paul or Griff. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
So, what I want on service today, | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
if, Tommy, you work with me up the front on main courses | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
doing what Paul would do. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
So if you put the roast potatoes, the gravy, roast parsnips on, | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
and send, and I'll be at the back here carving. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Christian, I need you on the veg. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
And Masood, if you do the new potatoes. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
And then you can work with Christian on the back. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
So we need to all work together today because we're two men down. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
So just take our time. Don't let the waiters rush us. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
If they have to wait a few minutes, they have to wait. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
I'm the youngest in the kitchen. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
But the brilliant thing is they've all accepted me. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
I've done a lot of change. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
They all know what they're doing and they know when they come in, | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
they've got to do this, this and this. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
If we're, like today, two men down, they'll all pull together. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
So we never have no problems - touch wood! | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
Can you manage? Do you want the door open? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
One problem is solved though, Malcolm's missing wedding cake. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
OK, it looks beautiful. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
For over a quarter of a century, a horse and carriage | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
has been showing tourists around the historic sights of Tenby town. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
Walk on! | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
Steve Phillips has just bought this established business | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
and it's his first summer entertaining holidaymakers. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
Tenby dates back to the sort of 1100-1200s. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
It was a very rich trading port then. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
There were a lot of goods traded in here from all over Europe. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
Do you know what the Welsh for Tenby is? | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-No. -Dinbych-y-Pysgod. -Oh, wow! | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-And that translates as the little fortress of the fishes. -Wow! | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
I thought the Indian language was hard but this is more difficult. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
Whoa! Stand still, Ed. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
We stop here because it's the best view on the route. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
Yeah, this is the south beach below us, which is Tenby's biggest beach. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
Over here we've got Caldey Island. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
The Cistercian monks have a monastery on there. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
So, how do you get there? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
You get a boat. Two boats go out. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
The boats go from Tenby Harbour every 20 minutes back and forth. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
So, where does everyone come from today? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
My dad's from Nairobi in Kenya. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
And he's on holiday here for about four weeks. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
Walk on! | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
Every trip is different. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
You get families with kids and you'll angle it more towards the fun things for the children, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
but then you'll get maybe a group of adults | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
and they'll be wanting to know more about the history | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
and they'll be asking me questions | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
rather than just listening to me, which is quite nice actually. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
It gets more like a conversation then, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
so it's more of a two way thing. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
You're a good boy, aren't you? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:05 | |
Don't go to close to Mr Ed with that cake now, he'll have it. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
You'd better eat it quick. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
The heavens have opened. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
But it's not dampening the spirits of the Irish dancers at the Summer Spectacular. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
It's supposed to be 6 o'clock it's coming in | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
but it's arrived early. So, if anything, that might benefit us. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
If it's coming a couple of hours early, hopefully | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
it will finish when it's due to come in, if you know what I mean. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
And everything can go ahead with the fireworks, as planned. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Um, it's just a case of fingers crossed and see what happens. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
So, the last thing I want to do is pull the fireworks | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
but I'm hoping it does blow over for us. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
With rock bands lined up for the evening event, | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
local youngsters flock to the town. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
PC Nigel Lewis is patrolling Tenby Railway Station | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
and he's spotted a potential problem. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
HE SHOUTS INCOHERENTLY | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
You, come here! | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Bring the car, bring the car! | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
You're getting on that train, you're getting out of here. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
You've just blown your chances in this town, OK. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
-I haven't done nothing though. -We saw you perform. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
You're having a direction to leave, you're out of town, OK. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-For messing about? -Yes, for messing about. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
Because that's the way you'll be for the rest of the evening | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-and you'll bring problems to us. I don't want it. -Hang on a second! | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
How old are you? How old are you? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
-16. -Right, who let...? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
Slow down, have you been drinking before coming here? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
I don't drink. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
You should accompany us, I think. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:48 | |
You need to accompany us down to the police van, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
back to the police station. And let's get parents out. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
News has arrived that the newly married bride and groom | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
are on their way to the reception. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
You've changed then. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
Yes, I've changed now. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Transformation! | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
-Why's that? -Why's that? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
Well, I just like to think | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
you've got to dress for the part when you're doing a wedding. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
Local Tenby school teacher Samantha and her new husband, Darren, | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
have been planning their special day with Malcolm | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
for the last few months. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
Congratulations! | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
-Everything go well? -Yeah, fantastic. -Well done! Excellent. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
Come on then. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
But will Malcolm's wedding room have the wow factor he is after? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:41 | |
It's absolutely stunning. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
-What do you think? -It's lovely, absolutely stunning. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Do you want to have a look at your cake then? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Jasmine did really well, didn't she? | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
The wedding is running to schedule and head chef Phil | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
is now under pressure to get food to the dining room on time. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
Watch these caulis under the grill, guys. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
Just getting ready now for the main courses. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
There will be hot carving meat to order. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
As they come in, they ask for one chicken, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
I carve it, and one beef as well. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
So, I'll be carving as we're going. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
Could I have veg for top table, please? | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
I'm going to have to shoot back round now. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, can I ask you all | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
to stand and welcome the new bride and groom? | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
Samantha and Darren. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
On the south beach, Ron has been called to a rather unusual job. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
-Another one there. -There's one there. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
I've left you a big one down there. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
Mervyn Dennis, the beach warden, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
has discovered some old World War II ironwork and he wants it removed. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:11 | |
So, here we are - a steel spike sticking out of the beach. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
You can imagine a little kid jumping in the sea | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
and stubbing their toe or, worse still, diving into it. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
It's a case of either breaking them off | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
or bending them over and dropping them back into the beach. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
-They're old railway tracks. -Yeah, they're old railway tracks. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
Another thing we've got to be careful of is we don't dig too big a hole | 0:17:36 | 0:17:41 | |
because the sand will be very soft and people will sink into the sand. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
They think it's quick sand but it's not - it's where we've been digging. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
The joys of being a beach warden. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
You can build sandcastles as big as you like! | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
You can see why we do it - they can be very nasty. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
Although there was only about that much sticking out of the sand, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
you can see how deep they go into the sand. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
One more that won't show its ugly head again. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Ready? One, two, three. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
Pembrokeshire born Steve Phillips | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
only has the summer months to offer horse rides to holidaymakers. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
The church now - St Mary's - | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
is the largest Medieval parish church in Wales. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
It's open to the public - lovely inside. They keep it immaculate. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
Hidden in the centre of town are the old Victorian stables | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
where Steve keeps and cares for his Shire horses, Major Tom and Mr Ed. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:52 | |
Cleaning his feet out, | 0:18:52 | 0:18:53 | |
obviously we try and minimise | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
the amount of muck we take out on to the street. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
It also gives us the chance | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
to check the horse's feet and how his shoes are doing. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Obviously the cobbles take it out of the shoes. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
As with any business that relies on the tourist trade, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
the summer is absolutely key for us. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
The sort of second half of July and all of August | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
is when the visitor numbers rocket in Tenby | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
and really you sort of stand or fall by how you do in that time. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
It's so established that I get people coming up to me and saying, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
"Oh, I've been coming to Tenby since 1973 | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
"and it's always been here." | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
Well, it hasn't but it's been that well established, | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
that it's just part of Tenby. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
The number of people that have come up to me saying, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
"I'm so glad you've taken it on, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
"it wouldn't be Tenby without the horse." | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Time for Mr Ed to hit the streets for the evening shift. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
It's also evening service | 0:20:01 | 0:20:02 | |
for Summer Spectacular organiser Dave Douglas Law. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
Dinner, please. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
Wood pigeon. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
He's having to juggle the event in the harbour | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
whilst keeping his restaurant open for holidaymakers. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
I think everybody in the town | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
looks forward to these six weeks because that's what, you know... | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
We've got six weeks to do a year's worth of trade, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
so it's a lot of pressure | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
but touching wood it's going well over the summer so, | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
if we keep it up, it should make the winter easier. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
Business may be Dave's priority | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
but so is the grand finale of the Round Table event. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
You see people standing at the top there so that's a good sign. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
And now the rain's stopped, | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
hopefully they'll hang about for the spectacular. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
So, er, it's sounding good anyway. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
Back down the harbour, | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
PCs Lewis and Thomas are drinking in the atmosphere. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
The lads group dancing. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Always better for the band when there's a large audience. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:09 | |
All smiling faces - hopefully. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-I'm just keeping an eye on things here. -Yeah. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
Earlier, some boys were up here and were chucking cans down, so, er, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
we're keeping an eye on things now. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
The bin's supplied. We supplied the bin for you. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Nice and easy. Good. Thank you. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
Service is in full swing at the wedding reception. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
This is young chef Phil's 25th function this year at the hotel. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
We need a veg for six. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
Normal six veg. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
When you see the dining room, | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
it makes you proud to cook for them people. | 0:21:58 | 0:21:59 | |
You can see there's love gone into the dining room | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
so you want to make a little bit more effort | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
within the kitchen. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:06 | |
That's good. Say yes for me please. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
-Yes. -Yes. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
Everything's gone smoothly and both Samantha and Darren have enjoyed it. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:18 | |
You can tell. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
-It's been fantastic. -It's been brilliant. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
We couldn't have asked for it to go better. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
It's been flawless - it's been perfect. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
And for Phil the chef? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
A bit fast but it went well. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
A few little hiccups there but it went well. Quick! | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
The boys did really well - seeing as we didn't have Paul and Griff, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
the normal two chefs but, yeah, it went really, really well. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
I'm proud of them. They've done really, really well today. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
At Tenby's refuse depot, | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Ron is about to unload all of today's pickings from the beaches. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:07 | |
-What are you doing tonight? -I'm doing nothing. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
I'm going to sleep! | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
It's a lovely job. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
Who wouldn't want my job?! You don't feel like you're coming to work. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
I'm tired now. I've had enough now. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
I want to finish now. I want to retire. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
I'm 60 next month, so... | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
It's tiring on your legs. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
And carrying these bags in and out all the time. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
My back's a bit iffy and my arms are a bit iffy. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
-So... -Wouldn't you miss it? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
No, because it's always here, isn't it? | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
I can come and sit on the beach any time and watch somebody else do it. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
And think, "They're not doing that properly!" | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
But that would be the problem if you left. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
But, um, I'm hoping to finish this year | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
but whether they'll let me or not is a different matter. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
As the evening draws to a close, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
it's time for the grand finale of Dave's Summer Spectacular. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
A lot of families coming down | 0:24:14 | 0:24:15 | |
especially for this last 10-15 minutes. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
They'll stay away | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
but then they know how good the fireworks are. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
We've got 11 minutes, something like that. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
It's been a long day. Nearly the end of a long day. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
So far, the event has been trouble free. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
But PC Lewis has been called to a sudden emergency. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
Can you all clear the street, please? There's an ambulance coming through. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
Clear the street. Can you go on the pavement, please, girls? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Can you all clear on to the pavement? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
14-year-old intoxicated female. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
-Fallen over a bit. -Has someone collapsed? | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
-Somebody's collapsed. -Is it down on the beach? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
With alcohol. No assaults, no assaults. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Looking back, we can see the state that some youngsters have got into. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:02 | |
Whilst we thought everything was going well, | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
they are secretly drinking and getting into states. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:12 | |
In the back of the ambulance here, | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
we can see the poor 14-year-old, who is out for the count. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
Luckily, this has taken place slightly off main focus, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
which is helpful. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
Go on, Ed, you know what you're getting. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
Ed, you know where you go. Ed, Ed! | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
Noisy celebrations are a concern to horseman Steve Phillips. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:45 | |
He's worried they may upset Mr Ed and Major Tom. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
Tonight, it's the fireworks down at the harbour. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
And, because of that, | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
I'm in the stable a little bit later than normal. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
Just to make sure the horses are all right | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
and don't get overly frightened. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
I'll stay with them all the way through, | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
just to make sure they're OK | 0:26:03 | 0:26:04 | |
and don't do themselves a mischief. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
It's only really four or five times in the summer it goes on. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
So it's not worth taking the chance really. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
And also the additional people it brings in for the town. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
It's well worth it. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
I think all the businesses benefit. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
The town was packed today, which was great. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
Dave and his Round Table colleagues | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
have raised thousands of pounds for charity. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
Now all he has to worry about | 0:26:39 | 0:26:40 | |
is those fireworks going off with a bang, | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
and savouring the moment with his wife, Steph. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
Please, please, please, please... | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
One, two, here we go! | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
-Here we go! -Wahey! | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
FIREWORKS EXPLODE | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
All right, Tom. All right. All right. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Ed hasn't moved from his hay net. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
He's very, very upset. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
I want to keep him at the door now. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
I don't want him moving about the stable. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
It's finished, anyway, boy! | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
FIREWORKS EXPLODE | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
I can't be interested in the fireworks. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
I've got to be watching the crowd. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Brilliant, fantastic! | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
I'm well pleased. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
I'm very proud of him, really proud of him. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
I can't believe he can do this but he can't do the washing up at home. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
Next time on Tenby 24/7, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
brother Jonathan and Matthew make some heavenly chocolate | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
on Caldey Island. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
The monks actually made this. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
You go away and pray for an hour, | 0:28:23 | 0:28:24 | |
-you come back and the chocolate can be ruined. -And a load on this one. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
Dai The Boot is on the money at the Sea Bass Festival. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
Right, we'll start at 10. Give me 10 anywhere? 20. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
And the Tenby RNLI are busy saving lives at sea. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:39 | |
