Len Goodman takes celebrities back in time to recreate their childhood holidays. Here, he goes to Pendoggett in Cornwall with broadcaster Jennie Bond.

In today's journey through time Len Goodman takes legendary 麻豆社 broadcaster Jennie Bond on a stroll down memory lane to her favourite childhood holiday destination, Pendoggett in Cornwall. The year was 1966.

Len picks Jennie up in a beautiful Humber saloon, almost identical to the one her family had back in the day. And, just like the original, it breaks down before they've even started their holiday! But it doesn't dampen their enthusiasm as they hitch a ride into north Cornwall.

The day starts with Len and Jennie heading back to the quaint hotel she stayed in during England's World Cup winning year of 1966. But it's not long before we see them having a go at one of the region's most popular activities, surfing. However, rather than tackle the choppy water they stick to the sandy shore and throw some shapes that any ballroom dancer would be proud of!

They then head back to the coast where we discover Jennie's love for seafood, but who will win in the crab dressing competition? Out at sea, we find out how she broke into journalism over a spot of lobster potting. And along the way, she explains how she became royal correspondent, covering some of the monarchy's most turbulent times. We also delve into what made this holiday so memorable for a young Jennie Bond.
