Just how bad will the bank holiday traffic be 20 years from now - in 1984?

On the day after Whitsun bank holiday, 'Panorama' takes a look at how crowds and traffic are increasing year on year and tries to predict what the future holds for bank holiday leisure activities. The programme follows two families as they travel to Southend to spend the day on a solidly packed beach. Back in the studio, Richard Dimbleby and Dr Peter Kelly discuss potential solutions to the problem, such as more roads, a wider selection of places to visit and staggered holidays
