Summer's arrived, and we've been looking at the British holiday in a selection of films from the archive. In the wonderfully anarchic The Dear Boys Home for the Holidays (1904), two mischievous brothers bring mayhem to their parents' house. Both Holiday Camp (1949) and the delightful Holiday (1957) show happier families at the height of the glory days of the holiday camp, while Alan Bennett's All Day on the Sands (1979) shows the gloom of a Morecambe break as the exotic foreign trip begins to exert its pull.

More recently, Bhaji on the Beach (1992) and Last Orders (2001) play out family tensions and memories beside the sea, while the inventive short Smark Alek (1993) shows a dull family holiday descend into nightmare.

Something for everyone!
