Richard Ayoade, master of the idiosyncratic turn-of-phrase, holidays with celebrity comedians in an offbeat travel show, to experience the most efficient 48-hour city break possible. First broadcast on Channel 4 in 2015. He begins in Barcelona with Kathy Burke, experiencing unusual aspects of the Catalan capital. The pair sample adventurous local cuisine and a cava tasting session becomes untidy. Ayoade shows Adam Hills how to weekend away with rigour as they head to Istanbul, and crisscross between Europe into Asia. They have a very close shave and haggle at the Bazaar before sharing an awkward moment at a local bath and massage parlour. Jessica Hynes heads to Iceland on a whirlwind tour with Ayoade. They enjoy the Golden Circle Tour of the Nordic island's most famous waterfalls, glaciers and geysers by helicopter. They also eat rotten shark and attend elf school. The final episode sees Ayoade and Stephen Mangan in the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Wanting to experience the city's famous street food, they endure an eye-opening culinary experience of a local delicacy: steamed sheep's head.
