Rip Off Britain: Holidays

Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville return with a new series of investigations into viewers' holiday problems, with invaluable advice on how to avoid being caught out the same way. Among the stories in this programme, the lifesaving piece of kit that airlines don't always carry, and after a new threat from mosquitoes is exposed, a test reveals the best way to ensure you don't get bitten. Plus why you won't necessarily be able to change your plans if there's an unexpected disaster in the destination you're heading to, the seaside businesses worried about tough new rules on cleanliness at British beaches, and travel expert Simon Calder has advice on visiting the increasingly popular Mexican resort of Cancun.
