Carry On Caravanning (2015x23)

Fecha de emisión: Jul 22, 2015

There are one million caravans in Britain and more than 400 caravan clubs. The mobile holiday homes have never been more popular—the industry is currently worth £6b to the UK economy, and they are seeing some of their fastest growth among holidaymakers in their 20s and 30s. So get ready to meet Britainʼs fun-seeking, slow lane- hogging “carafans”. They come from all backgrounds and all parts of the country, but they all have one thing in common. In the face of angry drivers, jet-set snobs and the Great British weather, these intrepid travellers spend all the free time they can get with their fellow “carafans” and their cherished box of delights. In this funny, character-driven documentary, viewers meet a colourful cast of caravanning characters as they cross the country on a weekend break. Itʼs a “Little Britain” world that feels familiar yet strange at the same time, holding up a microscope to the UK in 2015. They might not be cool, they might not be popular, and they might not collect many air miles. But they are a close-knit community who would not swap their mobile maisonettes for the world. And if you donʼt like them, well you can kiss their caravan!
