well there is going to be a new series on BBC 2 8pm starting this thurs 17th July on UK tv.

it is the story of travel the way that tv has portrayed it over the last thirty years, so the first programme features the 1950's and Alan Whicker etc

the second is about the sixties and seventies - Holiday prgrammes etc

The world is your oyster - the third programme is on Thurs 31st July (again 8pm BBC2 UK) This one is about Michael Palin and the programmes from around the world and pole to pole - up to sahara and how they have influenced the holidays we take.

So set your videos folks and enjoy!!
