    Default Holiday Axed by BBC1 after 37 Years

    BBC One bosses have announced they are to axe the long-running Holiday programme.

    The travel show will be replaced in March by new magazine programme The One Show in a scheduling shake-up.

    Reporters who have worked for the programme over the years include Joan Bakewell, Sarah Kennedy and Esther Rantzen. Even Cameron Diaz once appeared in a show from Belize.
    Will we miss it? Someone must have some memories, it's been on for that long.

    Why do they keep axing things this year?

    Si.

    The axe swings heavy indeed! I like the sound of The One Show though,
    'The One Show to bring them together,
    And in the darkness, bind them.'

    I think this is an example of cable channels providing a wider choice of holiday type programs.

    Or is it that now cheap air fares are ubiquitous, there's no need for people to dream of holidays? They can actually afford to go to these places rather than just watch TV about them. When you see Gloria Hunniford in Rome, you wouldn't necessarily think 'How amazing and exotic' any more, rather 'I've been there!' Holiday as a show becomes redundant.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    It was always quite fun watching Gloria Hunniford sunning herself in some exotic clime. Either that or they used to regularly paint her orange.

    Si.

    Its a dinosaur isn't it? The prices they quote on the show seem largely ficticious and most people book holidays themselves on the internet.
    Whats Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen going to do now? They keep axing his shows!

    It will not be missed, it brings back memories of enforced viewing by my parents!
    One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
    Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
    and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!

    For a while I used to think that Sarah Kennedy was Louise Pajo.

    I can't imagine anyone being bothered about this.

    I only ever watched it if I thought I was going to see some nice looking presenter or celebrity on a beach somewhere in a bikini...

    Oh, you know what I'm like!!!

    No-one wants a battle weary Judith Chalmers languishing in the backwaters of ratings obscurity.

    Are the fans of Holiday going to arrange a jamming of the BBC switchboard?

    No, no, no...Judith Chalmers was on the ITV one...."Wish you were here?" wasn't it?

    I was just watching it yesterday actually. It cheers me up after a long journey home through the pissing rain. Can't afford half the holidays advertised, though, but that Nepal trip looked good!

    have to say it's a relic of a show that typifies the tv we had in the 80's..
