I'd have to say my favourite holiday was as a nipper in Somerset, from memory, although it's so long ago I only remember it when I smell frankfurters and paraffin and then I'm taken back in some Proustian time slip to a lovely...DING How did I do?

Hesitation.
I have 52 seconds.
My favourite holiday was in Margate but have I ever told you about my main hobby which is stamp collecting. It is really interesting as I have all the ones of birds from the Maldives and.......Buzz. Yes? What?
Veering off the subject, sorry.

Oh shut your face.
I've never been so insulted in my life.
But you have made a correct challenge so you have 43 seconds left to write on the subject of "My Favourite Holiday".

I have 52 seconds.
It actually took well over a minute to write but I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be read or written in a minute, two very different things.
...And fish and chip shops and a nice pub with trees in the garden and nearby a pebbly beach...hang on a mo, is there any sea in Somerset? Oh bugger...ding, ding, ding.

BUZZ.
Deviation.
There is nothing about holidays in it at all.
I have 39 seconds.
My favourite holiday was in a well known tourist resort in East Kent. I spent my days on its golden sands engaging in my main interest which is philately. During that year I had specifically focussed my attentions on depictions in postage of an ornithological variety, especially those which emanated from an archipelagic country in the Indian subcontinent of Asia, situated southwest of Sri Lanka. Oh yes, there I would sit happily in my deck chair with a lovely ice cream as the kites sailed above me in the blue skies and the little boats bobbed gently on the sea waves. This was, it all comes back to me so vividly now, my favourite holiday in Kent. BUZZ. Oh yes Kent. But what is your challenge exactly?
Repetition on the final word. Oh dear, so near. So sorry.

Well, get on with it then.
You've got 17 seconds to tell us more about "My Favourite Holiday".
...so it may have been Devon or even Dorset which I believe both have a seaside you can erm...erm...well do seasidey things on, or is that in? Ding ding ding. Yes I know!

Deviation. You are talking about your favourite holiday and and not my favourite holiday.
And I have made an incorrect challenge.
So it is back to you and you now have just 10 seconds to tell us about "My Favourite Holiday" which very obviously means as you were suggesting the holiday which was the favourite of yours rather than mine.

Oh, so that wasn't you I saw down there then? Oh well, that's the old memory for you.
And so I jumped about like an idiot inbetween eating hot dogs and wondering where I was. Ding.

Hold on.
How can it have been a seaside in Devon or Dorset when it was also in Somerset?
I've just spotted that.
Some of what you say just doesn't make sense.
But personally I can't see anything wrong with this bit so someone else must have dinged and they are not admitting it.
So it is yet another point to you and you now have just 2 seconds to go.
MORNINGTON CRESCENT!
Loud whistle.
So actually it was Lofhouse who dinged and he took the subject on.
Lofthouse was speaking when the whistle blew. Alfred J Kipper is in the lead followed by A Horseradish and then comes Lofthouse with the other panel member yet to score.
As a matter of interest, are you both also currently in compulsory therapy under the NHS?
