Introduced by Cliff Michelmore

Winter Holidays
The idea of a winter holiday has always been popular - especially if you can save up to get away from the winter gloom in search of sunshine. Harold Williamson looks for a cheaper way to have an expensive type of holiday and tries a chalet skiing package in the Italian alps. John Carter tests a more sedate package tour to the semi-tropical island of Madeira.

In the studio Joan Bakewell and John Carter - and it's your last chance to see all nine pictures in the £200 Holiday Competition.
