Len Goodman takes singing superstar Daniel O'Donnell back to Arranmore and Owey Islands, off the coast of Donegal, to relive the childhood holiday he took back in 1968.

In this journey through time, Len Goodman takes singing superstar Daniel O'Donnell back to Arranmore and Owey Islands, off the coast of Donegal, to relive the childhood holiday he took back in 1968.

Len and Daniel travel to the island by boat and instantly the memories come flooding back. On this holiday, Daniel stayed with his granny and so first stop is the house he stayed in back in 68. It is a tiny place with one bedroom and one study but full of warmth and character and it is easy to see why Daniel loved it. They take the opportunity to cook the meal his gran would have made - crab's toes - over the open fire and it is delicious.

They have a singsong at Early's Bar, where Daniel first sang on stage, and wander around the beautiful coastline chatting over Daniel's amazing career and how it all began. Along the way, we get an insight into Daniel's career highs, hear some of his most memorable music, get mesmerised by the stunning coastline and find out why the holiday was so special to Daniel O'Donnell.
