They sit in colourful rows along many British beaches, and people are queuing up to buy them. Traditional hutters are finding themselves out-priced in the frenzy of the beach hut market place, as the nouveau hutters are moving in.

Claudia Hammond went to the beach to examine this very British obsession.
