The Caravanner Of The Year final saw the three remaining couples battle it out for the prestigious crown, which was won by John and his wife Jenny.
The driving skills of the contestants, including finalists David and Ann and Keith and Angela, were put under scrutiny. They had to steer their way through straw bales and brave a demanding navigation test to the Fox and Hounds pub, but Sat Navs and A-roads were banned.

But the oddest sight on the BBC2 show was that of David and his mum. The couple had been eliminated at the semi-final stage, but passionate caravanner David still made an appearance in the final and many thought that was strange.
Love this programme
