Chinese television is to feature two independent councillors on the small screen.

After the 2013 East Sussex County Council elections, China Central Television came to film the newly re-elected father and son Stephen and Daniel Shing, who represent Willingdon and Polegate.

Both were re-elected with a substantial majority despite a higher number of candidates within the same division.

Crews filmed the pair at a celebration party in Buffet Time in Eastbourne town centre.

The programme, which will be broadcast around the world, will feature the Hakka people, their history and how they are living outside of China.
