Alexander Armstrong reading from Leo's book

Alexander Armstrong's Very British Holiday was broadcast on BBC1 in November 2009 and January 2010. Society members will not have failed to see that the book he is holding whilst sitting in a Scarborough beach-front hotel is... Leo Walmsley's Lancashire & Yorkshire. Lancashire & Yorkshire

The 60-minute programme, made by Crackit Productions (which owns the copyright for the above image), chronicles Mr Armstrong's experiences going on a staycation and sampling the delights, overlooked locations and eccentricities of holidaying in England.

The book, published in 1951, is described by Mr Armstrong as "a useful little tome" and he goes on to quote from page 89.
