At 10 o'clock each
Saturday morning,
Arthur Smith presents Excess Baggage on
BBC Radio 4. It is basically an alternative
holiday programme, where a panel of knowledgeable and/or entertaining guests discuss a particular trend in
travel, or a certain
destination. The
programme is usually both entertaining and informative, providing insiders' knowledge on many unusual destinations. Excess
baggage follows on from
Home Truths, and is a wonderful addition to any
Saturday morning
lie in.
Recent highlights include features on health farm holidays, Istanbul and short breaks promising to result in self discovery. Arthur Smith's wit livens up even the most dull of panelists, and guarantees that the programme does not take itself too seriously.
