I used to love watching this programme has a tennager it was an adventure from home. When I became an adult I went to ibiza every year and eventually got married at Hotel Na Xamena Hacienda, (its interior looks nothing like that today and it cost a fortune to stay there per night 5 *!) like that and moved to spain.
Unless it's on the "news" channels, such as BBC and Sly News. Where ALL the "news" casters and "journalists" ALL now speak in that SLOOOOWWWW, doom laden tone as though the entire weight of the world is upon their shoulders and the world is about to collapse.
Yes it was Granada TV's ' Clapperboard' which was on Wednesday afternoon around4.45pm . He also was a reporter & narrated World in Action throughout the 60s ,70s & 80s
My Dad Gerry Parish built Pueblo Esparragos in Cala Llonga after he sold Queensway Carpets. He had to bribe the local mayor to get planning permission. 😂 It was AirBnB 30 years ahead of its time.
I didn’t know anyone who went abroad on holiday til the late 80s - one went camping in Brittany, the other had very rich parents and they went to Banff. None of my family had ever been abroad, not since the second world war, and that wasn’t for fun. It really wasn’t normal in my world til the 90s.
My grandparents lived on a council estate and were going on foreign holidays from the 60s onwards. They saved up to do it. They were a bit antisocial in other respects, never going to the pub or anything like that. Probably saved them a bit of money so they could do the trips.
"Pardon me, I don't know my way around, I'm looking for.. How do you say that?" "Si Senor, we call it *Fremantle* "Just as it was written on the screen in that travel show! Phew. Thanks."
Sounds very romantic but not sure if i could spend 3 months in the back of an old army truck. Bet a few regretted it. It would be a life changer of a trip though.
My first holiday abroad with the lads! 1979 and I got friendly with two girls from Formby. Happy days

In 1971, 6 of us went to stay in San Antonio, we had a great time 😊. We paid £35 each 😂 that was for 2 weeks in hotel
Was that expensive at the time?
I like the tranquil, understated presentation. So many presenters now have to shout and make everything dramatic.

Chris Kelly is the man in this video I remember him doing a movie show on television

Life used to be so simple. What have done to ourselves?

@@ajs41 Fair enough but I didn’t know anyone like that.
Oh the good old days when Brits knew how to say Ibiza properly..
Bizarre glory...man wearing a black shirt and a hat.
'Rest-raugh' 😂
£250 for a week? no thanks. crazy expensive. Normal monthly income £480
What a ripoff.
Inflation adjusted!
