Stansted: Beeb's new holiday show focuses on airport
Stansted Airport is to be the focus of a new prime-time television programme.
The BBC show, called Departure Lounge, will be shown on screens from July and if it proves a hit, could takeover BBC's travel show, Holiday, which has been running for 36 years.
The hour-long programme will focus on tourists travelling on a budget along with news, travel tips to get the best holiday and information about holiday dangers.
It will be screened on Friday nights, in the old Top of the Pops slot, and will be hosted by Nick Knowles, who currently presents the BBC's DIY SOS show. He will co-host with CBBC presenter Angellica Bell and newspaper travel editor Simon Calder.
