He discusses surrealist pirates, the dubious origins of rum butter, and the un-reassuring link between rugby and nuclear power.

During his visit to the Cumbrian coastal town, he investigates the rich tapestry of remarkable events and people - everything from rivalries, slang and traditions to the eccentricities which makes them unique.
