Overview

Topical Budget reports on the start of the oyster season in Whitstable with almost sadistic zeal in this pun-tastic newsreel item. Using the language of custodial punishment, the film shows the unfortunate oysters’ whole journey, from dredging to sorting and finally being scoffed by an adventurous young boy.
