The good old holiday tv show???
Back in the day Wish you were here would go up against Holiday and both would offer a good insight into a resort and a couple of feature hotels.
Then we had the Uncovered and club reps series and great fly on the wall stuff like Passport to the Sun.
We are sky + recording Holiday heaven on earth but to be honest its not all that good.
Many programs now feature the much more extreme side of travel , Am I the only one who despite having traveled to many package destinations over the years would welcome a return to reports of more accessible locations and facilities?
Also rather than constant re runs of tired old sit coms that weren't really that funny when first aired , who else would be glued to a series of Wish you were here circa 1980's just to see how its all changed
Globe Trekker is my favourite.
I would like to see a new holiday program but alot more balanced than most of the old ones finished, I do not know one person on a normal holiday that stays in a 5 star hotel but the presenters all thought we were on there wages. Nice and all round with holidays with ordinary people most of the time but a bit of luxury to tempt me for the special occasions
It's all stuff like Sun, Sea and Suspicious parents which is really not my cup of tea at all.
I'd rather see beautiful beaches, scenery and different styles of accommodation, maybe a touch of what a Country has to offer culture wise, not too struck on watching drunks jumping headlong into 5 inches of water and their resultant trip to A&E.

I used to love all those holiday shows. When I was a child I would watch them and dream of being a holiday rep when I grew up
I love watching Globe Trekker. In fact I love all travel programmes but that is the best there is at the moment...IMHO of course.
Millemiglia, like you. I would really love some holiday programmes too. What I miss most are the holidays for sale. Thomas Cook had a website and my last 2 holidays were booked because I had seen hotels I liked on their page. I find myself now watching Sun,sea and A&E, at least I see a glimpse of beach there. I don't mind Globe Trotter but most of these are from places I'd not be so keen to go to. Now, not getting to go regularly on holiday as I used to, I yearn for some nice holiday programmes to fill the void!
I miss the holiday programmes...I watch endless repeats of a place in the sun now....at least you see some of the local area eventhough it is from years ago when you could buy apartments for next to nothing

you can again in most of spain, prices have droped between 15 and 40 %
I think there is a real gap in the market for a main stream travel show.
I am enjoying watching The Mighty Mississippi with Trevor McDonald on ITV on Tuesday evenings.
club reps series do come on now and again but late in the night/early morning, its like repeats tho
