Fairground Atttractions. New Series 17-11-11

Postby mrjimlowe » 14 Nov 2011, 22:31

Hello

Here is a new series which begins on Channel 5 this Thursday 17 November at 8PM

Fairground Attractions
Season 1 Episode 1 of 6
New series. The world of travelling fairs, meeting some of the families who have been in the business for generations. Anna Carter and her sons, of Carters Victorian Steam Fair, receive a royal visitor when they roll up in Wiltshire, and Henry Danter, owner of Treasure Island funfair, introduces viewers to his heirs - children Kimberley and Harry. Third family the Couplands are gearing up for the grand opening of Mitcham Fair in London. But with preparations well under way, they hear widespread rioting and looting have broken out in the capital, meaning the event may have to be cancelled.
