Victor Kneale was born in 1918 and grew up in central Douglas - he recalls a happy childhood, and a time when the Island was over-run with holidaymakers - and every home welcomed them in.
Mrs Nancy Mills takes John Kennaugh by surprise with her story of the Doctor and the monkey - and listen out for the mention of the donkey who liked to stop for a pint when passing the pub!
Arthur Underhill - a policeman in the 1930's - recalls enlisting the help of a passing motorist, in order to catch a criminal, and a last minute change of plans brought Hilary Guard to the Isle of Man - where his brief two-day visit turned into a permanent stay - and a career change into Douglas hotelier!
