Peter Knowles said: "We were thrilled when the BBC approached us about taking part in Glamorgan Coastal Lives and we feel honoured to be part of the programme.

"Penarth is such a perfect place to live and work – we absolutely love it here – and it’s great to see it being celebrated on the small screen."
