Tonight a BBC Two documentary takes a trip back in time to revisit the television travel shows of yesteryear.

The Way We Travelled takes a nostalgic journey to when holiday and travel programmes first hit our television screens.

From the early days of Richard Dimbleby's Passport programme to Cliff Michelmore's Holiday in 1969 and the roving reports of that man Alan Whicker, these on-screen travellers encouraged us to pack our bags and holiday abroad at a time when most people were still enjoying weekend breaks in Bognor.

The Way We Travelled is on BBC Two tonight at 8pm.
