Saw Ainslie Harriott in Blackpool and Chris Hollins in Oxford. Not bad, old Len still very cheerful.

I agree, shysal. I was disappointed with the Esther Rantzen one on the Isle of Wight for the same reason.

I recorded and watched it for the first time yesterday, as it was filmed in Oxford, my home city. I thought it was too much about the celebrity and not enough of the location, but that may be because I am not interested in cricket!

I loved the Dave Myers one but not the Esther one so much.

I agree mg, but tend to regard the celebs involvement as so much wall-paper on these programmes, just a virtual paper bag to contain the holiday memories, which I have enjoyed so far.

It is good cheerful stuff but I wonder why they chose Esther Rantzen to appear as she was only six when she had a holiday on the Isle of Wight and couldn't really remember much about it.

I wonder if they pick the celebs first or pick the locations and then send a letter out, 'Anyone been here?' grin

A very good paddle in holiday nostalgia with Len from Strictly and a celeb. Dave Myers and Esther Rantzen so far. On daily on BBC1 at 1545. Good cheerfull stuff full of memories. Len does it very well, but what do you think?
