The programme follows two families as they travel to Southend to spend the day on a solidly packed beach. Back in the studio, Richard Dimbleby and Dr Peter Kelly discuss potential solutions to the problem, such as more roads, a wider selection of places to visit and staggered holidays. DID YOU KNOW?
