Nicholas Parsons
Len Goodman takes national treasure Nicholas Parsons back to 1939 and the stunning area of Studland in Dorset for an old-school caravan holiday.
In today's journey through time Len Goodman takes national treasure Nicholas Parsons back to 1939 and the stunning area of Studland in Dorset for an old-school caravan holiday.
Len picks Nicholas up in a Wolseley motor, similar to the one his dad used to tow the caravan all those years ago, before they head off to catch the ferry. They sail across to their destination and Nicholas relives the excitement of yesteryear as they approach the shore of Studland.
Len then surprises Nicholas with an authentic 1930s campervan in the very spot where they originally camped 76 years ago, complete with lavatory tent, of course! Having had a good look around their accommodation they head out with their bicycles just like Nicholas and his brother did back in '39.
Later on Nicholas talks us through some of his career highlights over a game of draughts! After a quick dip in the sea they round the day off in the most fitting way, with a special game of Just a Minute. Along the way, we get an insight into Nicholas's wonderful and long career and find out why this holiday meant so much to him.
