BBC Four - The Great British Foreign Holiday

Mark Benton narrates a clip show looking at the Brits when they go abroad.

Mark Benton narrates a clip show looking at the Brits when they go abroad, somewhere he claims to be 'far away - outlandish, exotic and scary. Frankly, we're terrified of it.'.

Mark Benton has been abroad, he knows all about it: 'The British are an island race - abroad is really abroad, not just across the border but actually over the horizon. It's far away - outlandish, exotic and scary. Frankly, we're terrified of it.'

The Brits, foreign travel and all points in between - how we got there, what we did there and how we got back.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.
