Information About

Holidays At Home






Holidays at Home is a 2005 program released by the BBC . The shortlived first series featured 4 episodes before it ceaced production.


SHOW OVERVIEW


Presenter Nicki Chapman started the show by presenting a video made by the family about to go on what they thought would be a great custom made Holiday away from home. After this she would go and get the family and 'tease' them by taking them on a car journey in a luxury-looking car, on a journey that would take them back to their house in what was about 20-30 minutes.

After getting them out of the car, she would tell them that they would be having a Holiday at Home. She would present them a clue of what they would be doing the next day, although it would be mostly a surprise.(People showed their feelings toward having a Holiday at Home in a diary that night) The show would continue for 7 days, and the last day being a 'surprise day' for one of the family members, which was usually based on what they said they would most like to do on Holiday.
