Introduced by Cliff Michelmore
This week's programme is of special interest to those who prefer not to fly to their holiday destinations abroad, and to those who like their destinations to have a touch of old-fashioned style.
John Carter travels from Victoria Station, across the Channel, and on by rail to Cap d'Agde, a custom-built resort on the French Mediterranean coast. Combining that method of rail travel with a self-catering apartment means that the cost of the holiday offers a real challenge to package deals by air.
Joan Bakewell looks at resorts on the shore of Italy's Lake Como which attract holidaymakers by offering the style of an earlier age - a style that incorporates Romanesque villas and elegant gardens.
Travel experts in the studio add their information and comment to the film reports. At the consumer desk, Norma Shepherd.
