After 25 years Holiday cuts down on its own vacation by returning for an extended series now, rather than in the new year. With the new brochures now published a year ahead, those getaway decisions are being made ever earlier.
The show's quarter-century will be celebrated in January when the original presenter Cliff Michelmore meets up with Jill Dando in Torremolinos, the very first resort featured in 1969. Also to come in the new series, guest reporters
Linda Robson and Pauline Quirke take to the road in America, and John Cole visits Spain and Austria.
Jill Dando, who introduces the first programme from the Seychelles, is joined this week by Eamonn Holmes , who travels to Minorca with a family on their first holiday abroad,
Kathy Tayier and her family on a trip to Dartmoor and Paul Gogarty on late availability holidays, and Sue Cook welcomes Sankha Guha
, a seasoned traveller on behalf of the Rough Guides. Producer Simon Shaw
