Pleasant surprise
THE favourite song of Radio Four travel programme presenter Sandi Toksvig is Singing in the Rain, so next month's broadcast of the details of her trip to Filey should be a positive encounter.
The presenter undertook her trip to the town in waterproofs and carried out her interviews during the break in showers. But she wasn't put off by the weather and was very complimentary about Filey and its people.
Her programme at the end of August will make particular mention of the award-winning museum, the gardens, the sea air and the lifeboat crew.
The only problem, she said, was the transport links to Filey from London.
It goes to show that even experienced travellers are pleasantly surprised by what they find on trips to parts of our coast, as TV actor Richard Wilson also found when he filmed in the area earlier this year.
But for Filey, it is fair recognition of the environmental improvements over the past five years. The invitation to Ms Toksvig followed an admission on her programme that she had not known where Filey was.
For its next trick, the town could repeat the invitation it made a number of years ago to Kylie (Minogue) to come to Filey.
