Eye to Eye follows the British holidaymakers who take the 'Big Gamble' every summer - those who are willing to risk their savings on a stay at a British seaside resort - despite the very real possibility that it may be spoiled by bad weather.

Jack Warner narrates this documentary by Pamela Bower and Richard Cawston, which was filmed by James Balfour at Broadstairs beach.
