At a time when there is uncertainty about Britain's future in the European market via the EU vote and when holiday prices can make even the simplest break seem like an expensive trip, there's nothing better than a good trip down memory lane. Nostalgia can be a wonderful thing at times, and especially for an older generation, it's often good to sit back and discuss the way that things used to be, back when life was so much simpler, and when you made the most of whatever you had.
It is this vibe of the "good old days" which this show, Save The Last Dance For Me, attempts to recapture, and it does so very well. People of a certain age will remember a time when a big holiday meant travelling for several hours to a bread-and-butter caravan site with one or two nearby attractions, with the odd use of a singular telephone box being your only link to life back home, and with the success of the holiday dependant on who, if anybody, that you met and befriended during your trip away. Sure, you couldn't Tweet what you were up to each night and your memories are confined to your memory and to a couple-dozen printed photographs on an oversized camera rather than having hundreds of pics on your iPhone, but that represented the simplicity of holiday life a few decades ago; some would say that things were a lot better back then for that very reason.
