Fish Town

Residents of Brixham are collecting funds in the local community to erect a statue honouring fishermen who have been lost at sea over the coming months. However, Pat Seddon's intention to join a fundraising skydive has caused concern among her close friends and relatives.

The programme centres on a collective effort by the people of Brixham to raise the funds needed for a memorial statue. It follows the community as they organise donations and rally support, aiming to create a permanent tribute that acknowledges the town’s maritime heritage. The episode presents the practical steps of the campaign, showing how locals come together with a shared purpose. At the heart of the fundraising drive is the desire to honour the fishermen who have been lost at sea. The proposed statue is intended to serve as a lasting reminder of those lives, offering a focal point for remembrance and reflection. Throughout the episode, the residents’ determination to see the monument realised is portrayed as a testament to their respect for the seafaring men and women whose absence still resonates within the community. A key subplot follows Pat Seddon, who volunteers to take part in a sky‑diving event designed to generate additional money for the project. While her involvement is meant to boost the campaign’s profile, her decision also triggers worry among friends and relatives, who voice concerns about the risks involved. The programme captures the tension between the enthusiasm for an innovative fundraising idea and the genuine apprehension of those close to Pat, highlighting the personal stakes intertwined with the broader community goal.
