Art and the Sea

Actor Ace Bhatti, himself a former lifeboatman, goes to Whitby, Hull and the small village of Staithes to explore how artists were inspired by the sea and the men and women who make a living from it. He examines the pioneering photography of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, paintings by the Staithes Group of Artists and a piece of art which has been worn by a Hollywood star.
