That theme tune gets me all sentimental and nostalgic. I was 12 years old when this came out...just remembering the thoughts I had at that time and the Hope's I had for the future.
It is hard to believe that this was over 30 years ago. People sitting and talking to one another in the bars, round the pool etc. Nowadays everyone is on the mobile, twitter taking selfies etc.
Mate this song constantly comes into my head and seduces me to return to an age of innocence. Like yourself I would have been 12 in 1989. RUclips is a time machine that brings you back to easier times. WYWH, Question of sport, only fools and horses etc. Then bed at 9 for school next day.
It’s so true! Have watched this a few times now, brings back memories of watching this when little. TV themes were great back then and love the extended, the classic 80’s 747 into the sunset
This was an era where mass holidaying abroad had now been around for about 15 years, and people were wanting new ideas outside of the typical Spain and Greece. Going outside of Europe was still relatively expensive and rare but becoming more affordable. With the internet we don't need a TV programme to give us ideas anymore, and people seem to favour a celebrity exploring a specific destination. I miss this sort of show though, it usually aired on Mondays in January so it was always uplifting 🙂
As soon as the theme tune came on, I could suddenly smell hot fabric! My mother always used to do the ironing when this was on because it was bright and breezy and didn't need any concentration.
Great to see this thanks. I was searching for Holiday programme with Cliff Michelmore and this came up. I had forgot about Wish You Were Here as well. We used to watch both though. Always great to see different places, even if we were never going to go to them.
Wow i wish i was young AGAIN i remember watching this in 90s

you know you are getting old when you call someone Judith Chalmers due to the number of holiday's they take, and they say - who is she :)
My daughter asked me what getting called away to the phone meant the other day 😮😮😀😀
TV was great back in the day, you can't help but smile when you hear the theme tune

Why are there no holiday programmes on TV these days? They were excellent.
Agreed, at least it gave us some ideas!
probably because these days all these holiday programs have been uploaded as short clips on to websites like RUclips.
Because digital switchover happened and ever since the quality of TV programming has gone to shit
There is on BBC NI called Getaways

Judith had the best job in the world, getting paid to go on holidays.
Judith Chalmers such a legend
Much Better times.
True. Before people got impatient 100% of the time.

Aww anneka rice ❤❤
Brilliant upload, thanks 😊
Not a mobile phone in sight..
My ideal holiday, 30 years ago, would have been in a caravan, in Weston-super-Mare, underneath Anneka Rice.
I use to love watching this. cup of tea with the family
12th December 1988.
I can still smell the vinegary scented pages of the travel brochures
What a blast from the past, when TV was actually interesting. Revamp and bring back I say.
Always think holidays are a bit odd myself
Couldn’t beat those voyeur camera shots as a kid before bed time 🎥 👙
Anna Walker is my favourite one to "enjoy"....😋
Does anybody know if there is an extended version of the music?
Whos here because they cant go anywhere due to Coronavirus?
Its a shame presenters now aren't as well spoken.
great clip, any more old holiday programmes thanks.
I've only got this one, unfortunately. Just uploading 2nd half of the programme
Did she really have a holiday though, or long flights just for few days work?
2 weeks in summer to jamaica including flights £556, where do i book this?
Miles Ripley Thomas cook
90p for a beer. Ill be sloshed
The past 😅
Can't believe they stole Tim the travellers music! Anyone know a good lawyer?
Had a great holiday there but painful piles
Did you end up suffering from extreme, debilitating diarrhoea too?
Those pesky hurricins
People's clothing in these times was appalling. Mustaches, abundant curlers, women's hairstyles with fixative.
There crap now too. When anyone can be bothered to make the effort.
Haha people were much nice dressed back then!!!
