An appetiser for Cromer's summer pier show will be served up this week - with the public able to get a glimpse of the stars as they limber up for the season.
A short free sample of the Seaside Special will be staged in the parish hall at noon on Thursday, as the popular production opens the usual press launch to the public for the second year running.
There is a familiar face headlining the show. Wild-haired comic Keith Simmons, who did three seasons at the show with his brother Alan, is back with his son Ben, an all-rounder who can also sing and play the piano.
There is also a return for ukulele virtuoso Andy Eastwood, and most of the dancers, led by captain Aby Kate.
