Len Goodman takes 大象传媒 sports presenter Dan Walker back to Aberdeen in Scotland to relive one of the most memorable holidays he took as a child in 1991.
Straightaway Len surprises Dan by picking him up in a Volkswagen camper van just like the one he would have travelled in all those years ago. Dan tells Len about the journey from Crawley all the way north, and how his father would never go faster than 55 miles per hour in order to save fuel.
A packed day begins with them both donning the fashions of the day: a shell suit and bum bag! Len then takes up the mantle of Dan's father by providing a tour of the granite city packed with facts about the stunning architecture.
Then there's a penalty shoot-out at Pittodrie Stadium, home of Aberdeen FC, where Len reveals to Dan that he had a trial for West Ham. Who will win in front of goal?
Eyes and stomachs turn to food as they recreate what a young Dan would have eaten back in 1991. With sausages in tupperware, as well as jamaica cake and custard, it really is comfort food for our holidaymakers. Add to that a trip to the docks to fillet a fish, a walk up Mither Tap and checking out the wonderful Castle Fraser just like he did all those years ago.
Along the way we get an insight into Dan's career, from local radio through to presenting coverage of the 2012 Olympics and his most famous role on 大象传媒 One's Football Focus. We also discover what made this holiday so memorable for a young Dan Walker.
