The first of three programmes recalling the holiday and travel guides that have graced British television screens.

The launch of Passport in 1957 saw Richard Dimbleby and family venturing to some of the farthest reaches of the country and encouraging the British to take their first tentative steps abroad. Two years later Whicker's World began to provide views of exciting - but unattainable - foreign travel, while in 1969 Holiday suggested more economical adventures in Europe. Featuring archive footage and contributions from the presenters themselves. Narrated by Nick Hancock.

NOSTALGIA
The Way We Travelled 8.00pm BBC2

If your kids expect a fortnight's holiday abroad every year - quite possibly to some far-flung shores but at the very least in a Mediterranean country - get them to watch this three-part documentary about the history of travel reporting on television. It's a glorious nostalgic wallow for older viewers, but also gives parents the opportunity to do the "you don't know how lucky you are" line.
It takes us back to an era when holidaying abroad really was an adventure, although, as footage of the time shows, the men still tended to wear a suit on their travels, while the ladies wore a nice frock and hat. And if they saw another British family, they always waved at them.
There weren't many travel shows on television in the early days: the first, in 1957, was Passport, in which Richard Dimbleby and his young family went on daring trips to adventurous places such as the Dordogne and the Lake District. Then in the same year came the Tonight programme, hosted by cuddly Cliff Michelmore and featuring the impeccably pressed slacks and blazer of globe-trotting reporter Alan Whicker.
For many of us, both Whicker and Michelmore symbolise the golden age of television travel. Whicker eventually got his own show, Whicker's World, giving us an exclusive glimpse of the champagne-fuelled jet-set life of the rich and famous, while Michelmore reported on more affordable European resorts for the first Holiday series, broadcast in 1969. And if you're off to southern Portugal this summer, you may wish to savour the clip of Whicker standing on a deserted Algarve beach in mid-August. You'll probably not see that when you get there.

All at sixes and sevens

Think back to a time when television came in black and white and only two channels. Things were very different then - the BBC even let its service go off the air every evening for an hour at peak time, so parents could put the kids to bed in peace. But the so-called "toddlers'truce" - from 6pm to 7pm - couldn't go on forever, and in 1957 RT announced a big development: the launch of Tonight, a weekday news magazine programme.
It was the start of a new era, for now the BBC's TV service ran continuously from 5pm to 11pm, although the schedule could still accommodate Nylon 1957 - a half-hour visit to a trade fair in the middle of an evening's viewing. Tonight was the way forward, as described in The Way We Travelled (8.00pm BBC2), for the programme launched the TV careers of two reporters who went on to become the faces of TV travel: Alan Whicker and Cliff Michelmore.

Highlights of the first day's play at the Open. This year's venue is Kent's Royal St George's course, which last played host to the Championship a decade ago. There was a dramatic climax in 1993, with Greg Norman shooting a final round of 64 to edge out Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer. In last year's opening round at Royal Lytham, eventual winner Ernie Els put in a strong performance to end the day one under par, with the likes of Mark O'Meara , Padraig Harrington and Tiger Woods also well placed. Presented by Gary Lineker. Coverage continues tomorrow at 9am.

"I've seen too many people with sick in their beards" says Grant Squibb , after ten years working to get homeless kids off drugs and off the streets. Close to burn out, Grant would like a career as far removed from his current job as possible. Photography is his choice but, thrown in at the deep end at the age of 35, does he have the ability and the desire to succeed? Last in the series.
