Caravans: A British Love Affair. BBC4 at 9.50 This Evening.

[Laurel Green]

As above: The story of caravanning in Britain, from the 1950s through to the present day, revealing how mobile homes became a firm favourite with almost a quarter of British holiday-makers.

Thought it worth a mention.

I started to watch when I was a bit tired and failed to tune-into it. It was a bit dry/boring. Perhaps I need to be more awake to watch.

[Laurel Green]

I agree, it was a tad on the boring side. The only interesting bit being, the history of CI and their use of aircraft technology with the initial builds. Especially the use of Spitfire wheels. Can imagine those illustrious re-builders of Spitfires, snooping around the campsites, scrutinising the wheels of aged caravans

[Watchman]

I'll give it another go tonight. My wife will no doubt watch X-factor then go to bed, leaving me wide awake with the usual crap on TV - perfect opportunity to give this a second go.

I also want to tune into it while she's still hovering around - I'm trying to leave caravan brochures around the place too. Anything to raise the general consciousness of the fact that we SHOULD BUY A BLOODY CARAVAN, WOMAN.
