One whiff of battered plaice on the seafront, or a sticky bite of candyfloss, is all it takes for most Brits to revert into over-excited children.
Other nations are so sophisticated and adult on their holidays. In the South of France, they promenade along La Croisette in Cannes, splashing out on Rolex and Bulgari. In the UK, we just strip off our stockings, cram ourselves into swimming costumes like beachballs in carrier bags, and rush into the freezing North Sea.
Comedian Susan Calman couldn t wait to get her feet wet on the beach at Great Yarmouth, in her Grand Week By The Sea (C5). Yowsers! she yelped. That s a refreshing little paddle. As she staggered from the water s edge, she was blue from the knees down.

Davina McCall’s shows tend to run their course. Big Brother was a national obsession, until suddenly we all felt it had nothing new to give us.
Her stint as a judge on The Masked Singer is going well enough, but who remembers telly filler such as Got To Dance or This Time Next Year?
Long Lost Family (ITV), though, is different. In the past year, Davina told us as the show returned for its tenth season, more than 4,000 viewers wrote in, asking for help in finding relatives children given up for adoption, siblings sent away, parents they never knew.
