Holidays

Episode 4 of 4

Pam explores holidays - with poems and sketches about swimsuits and holiday one-upmanship. With Felicity Montagu. From 2018.

More light hearted verse and comic sketches from Pam Ayres.

The theme this time is 'Holidays'.

Featuring sketches about choosing the perfect swimsuit; holiday one-upmanship, and how you know when it's time to get a bigger cabin.

Pam shares memories of how glamorous flying used to be when she first started to fly in the 1960s; stories about gifts and souvenirs which definitely don't travel, and the saga of buying her first ever wetsuit.

She also performs some new poems including 'Don't Put Me Dinner on a Slate' about the latest pub grub fashion, and three sections from a new linked series of poems called 'Flight Time'.

Inspired by the trials and tribulations of long-distance flying, the first poem is about arrival and check-in, the second about the consequences of the in-flight meal and the third about the delights of the on-board toilets.
