BBC One - Holiday of My Lifetime with Len Goodman, Series 2, Episode 8

Len takes Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson to Somerset.

Len Goodman takes Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson to Somerset to relive her childhood holiday of 1980.

Len takes Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson to Somerset to relive her childhood holiday of 1980.

Len has Tanni in tears of joy when he picks her up in a bright yellow Rover, just like her family car back in the day. First up is a visit to the charming Cameley Lakes, where Tanni and her family would have stayed. It is here where our guest discusses her childhood and coming to terms with the disability that confined her to a wheelchair.

Len then treats Tanni with a visit to Longleat Safari Park, where relives one of her favourite holiday moments. They even get to feed the giraffes! Back at the lodge Len rustles up the favourite holiday meal. It is a simple dish, but never underestimate the deliciousness of a deep-fried potato!

A spot of fishing follows, an activity that Tanni would always have enjoyed with her dad. It is here that we touch on her sporting career, representing Great Britain and that amazing haul of gold medals in Barcelona. They round off their day with a visit to the magnificent Wells Cathedral.

Along the way, we find out how just how Tanni became one of Britain's greatest Paralympians, from being a competitive and determined child to becoming a Dame and then being offered a seat in the House of Lords! We also delve into what made this holiday special for a young Tanni Grey-Thompson.
