ok this is going to make me sound like a dumb yank, but ever since i saw benny hill do a parody of mr. michelmore, i have been a fan. but i'm pretty much a fan of all things british. i digress, is there any way to find the show "holiday" on dvd?
My husband and I were just discussing TV personalities from our childhood, wasn't sure if he was still with us. Glad to know that he is,so much has changed, nice to see that part of the old days are still with us. God bless him.
His live broadcast from Aberfan in 1966 was one of the most brilliant, sensitive, perfecly judged moments in TV history. God bless him, best wishes from South Wales.
It is great to hear that your father is surfing the web. My own father,at age 84, has just decided to get a laptop and go on line ! I grew up watching your dad on TV and listening to Two way family favourites but I must admit to having a terrible nightmare about him when I was about 9 years old which affected me for years (very strange !). Please tell him that he is not forgotten, even in this age of MP3 players & Sattelite TV He will never be forgotten
My daughter and father (Cliff) just watched this and he says thank you very much for the 5 stars and the comments he but doesn't remember saying ANY of it!
I like the long laid-back intro. You don't get TV like that anymore. I have a question: does your father know what was the name of the piece of music that accompanied 'Holiday'? I loved it! Jim
Holiday had three themes in the 70s: The Walrus and the Carptenter by Syd Dale, Equinoxe Part One by Jean-Michel Jarre, and Heartsong by Gordon Giltrap. Might be one of those...they're all on iTunes / Amazon for download.
Wonderful! A little whimsy with authority.

I agree Cliff Michelmore is a broadcasting legend. His coverage of the Aberfan disaster was outstanding.

He looked very spry when he linked 'The Pound in Your Pocket' on BBC Parliament a while back. Do send him my very fondest.

At his age, he mustn't be too old for MySpace/Facebook, right?
