Bradley Walsh and Holly Willoughby are on a mission to make more holiday dreams come true as their game show Take Off with Bradley & Holly returns to BBC1 for a full series following a Christmas special in 2019.
Each week, members of the studio audience will see their names on a departure board, and will compete against each other in a series of travel-themed games, such as Guesstination,
Passport Pick Up, and Final Call, in a bid to win seats on a plane, which will whisk them off for a once-in-a-lifetime break. In Saturday’s opener, contestants are playing for the chance to jet off to Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

How much fun did you have making this show?
HOLLY After the Christmas special, this series was the last thing we filmed before all the coronavirus restrictions came in last year, so it was a big, final hurrah before the wheels fell off!
The ultimate prize on any game show is to win a holiday, and Take-Off with… is focused on doing just that. We’ve all realised how important holidays are, to have that feeling of escapism. So this show is even more important now than it was back then.
BRADLEY I always love working with Holly. We’ve been friends for a long time and we had such a laugh working together on this show because Holly is like a naughty schoolgirl. She takes the mickey and treats me like a mad, old uncle! HOLLY Bradley really makes me giggle a lot because he’s just so silly!
