In addition to being a mainstay of the local lifeboat crew Norman (Roger Lloyd Pack) has been the manager of the little pier theatre in his home seaside town for forty years, ever since he was a youngster. In those days, the venue played host to popular singers like the flamboyant Alma Cogan, meeting with whom Norman still fondly remembers. Now, however, the council, who owns the pier, wants to oust Norman in favor of younger, hipper management, and Norman plans to fight. Norman has long been supported by his loyal assistant Sandra (Niamh Cusack), a would-be singer, but she persuades him that perhaps it is time for him to go, and so he does, this time supporting Sandra as she begins a career as a singer. 译文(3): 除了是当地救生艇船员的中流砥柱外，诺曼（罗杰·劳埃德·帕克饰）从小就担任家乡海滨小镇小码头剧院的经理长达四十{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。在那些日子里，这个场地接待了像浮夸的阿尔玛·科根这样的流行歌手，诺曼仍然怀念与她会面的情景。然而，现在，拥有码头的市政委员会想把诺曼赶下台，转而支持更年轻、更时髦的管理层，诺曼计划抗争。诺曼长期以来一直得到他的忠实助手桑德拉（尼亚姆·库萨克饰）{Ziyuantun.Com}的支持，桑德拉是一名未来的歌手，但她说服他，也许是时候让他离开了，他也这样做了，这一次是在桑德拉开始歌手生涯时支持她。
