Simply broadcasting travel reports, Judith Chalmers-style, on holidays and their cost obviously isn't enough any more. We need topicality, "takeaway information" and fresh ways of enjoying the more popular destinations. Hence this new series, based at Manchester Airport and presented by Simon Calder, Nick Knowles and Angellica Bell, which intends to look at every possible aspect of holidaying.

Among the regular items each week there'll be a £500 challenge in which a chosen celebrity - this week Kirsty Gallacher - has to see how far they can travel on a limited budget, and Call Calder, in which Simon Calder helps disgruntled holidaymakers to enjoy themselves more by pointing out the best places for them to visit. This first edition also features a luggage test, a booze cruise with none other than Jilly Goolden and a safari location report from a family whose previous experience of the wild has been courtesy of Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida.

lots of tips

really good

Obviously no one is going on holiday this year

You talking to yourself RTKM ??

ooooooooooooooh yes I like doing that

And I answer myself too

At least I understand what I am going on about

Well sometimes anyway

Oh me too !!! Sometimes find a mirror helpful I do !!

just a close look at Nick Knowles teeth!!! euggHHHHHHHHH...

they are brown, I used to think he was quite nice!

We watched it, I really enjoyed the piece about luggage, seeing as we need some new luggage for our holiday in October, guess who'll be checking out the prices of Samsonite cases in town tomorrow

Dd1 loved the Safari, especially when the elephant walked across the road and said that she now wants to go on a safari. Closest she's going to get to a Safari this year will be at the Animal Kingdom in Florida, but FIL has houses in South Africa, one of them near to Krugar national park, so you never know maybe one day she'll get to go on a real safari.

I thought it was good too

I loved the luggage test too

I prefer soft holdalls and soft cases

but don't think would bother with £450 ones when samsonite you can throw on a bungy rope

We watched it too; wuite enjoyed it.

Can't wait till DD is old enough to take on a safari.

one of ds class mates is in kenya atm on safari

they are 10 years

It is so great. I got married on safari in Kenya.

DD is only 3 at moment. because of the jabs, and the long distance to travel think she needs to be at least 8yo; 10 or 11 better.

we are thinking of it for next year

{cos this year we have already had holiday to usa}

DEFFO BRILL to get married there

was that in JULY/august ???

In August...infact it must my wedding anniversary next week.

Got married at Shimba Hills near the coast; a small safari park. Then went on safari afterwards further afield. Was amazing.

WOW that sounds wonderful

Yes, it has great memories

You should defintiely think about going though. Safari is so amazing.

YES DEFFO NEXT YEAR

We are following this other family on holiday

last year they went to california and then we went at this easter

this year they go on safari and then next year we do too

LOL! At least you get their hints and tips about where to go, what to see, etc.

I know it is soooooooooo funny

we are not really friends with them and but they did give us tips about california

DS does not really like their DD cos she is a bit of bossy boots IYSWIM
