A third series of “Life on the Bay” will start screening next week.
The popular fly on the wall documentary, featuring the Wallace family, together with their staff, customers and community neighbours, at Pettycur Bay Holiday Park in Kinghorn is returning to our screens on Wednesday 8 May at 8pm on BBC One Scotland, a change from the first two series which had a Sunday night slot.
Once again, the series has been put together by Red Sky Productions, and will feature eight individual episodes.
“We are delighted that the third series is about to start,” said Steven Wallace, one of the Directors of the park, and who, thanks to the first two series, has very much become the face of “Life in the Bay”.
“Rather than kicking off in January, as the first two series have done, we were told By Red Sky that it was more likely to be transmission in May, as they had filmed as late as October last year, capturing our very first homegrown talent show that we ran, an extremely popular event indeed.”
“It’s brilliant that they were actually able to include that, and very exciting for those who performed in it to know that they were going to feature on TV,” added Steven.
“Red Sky have been in touch, and everything is ready to go now! We can’t wait to see the first episode of this third series next Wednesday. We hope everybody very much enjoys it once again – our “Sunshine Coast” always seem to live up to its billing, with us receiving so many enquiries and comments about how fabulous it always looks.”
“We know how lucky we are to be based here.
“Pettycur Bay Holiday Park is due to celebrate 40 years of operation in July 2024. What a landmark for us all. This third series will be fantastic prequel to the celebrations that we’re going to have in the summer for this anniversary.
“The whole community here at Pettycur is really excited about it, and if there is one thing that “Life on the Bay” shows it’s that we have the most incredible community behind us.”
Steve Allen, executive producer, BBC Scotland, said: “Our audiences have lapped up the heartwarming stories of the staff and guests at the holiday park on Fife’s ‘Sunshine Coast’. We’re sure they’ll be captivated again as Red Sky Productions bring them up to date with the latest tales from the established and new characters on the Bay.”
