Release Date: 2025-01-10Comedian David O'Doherty joins presenter Joe Lycett in Málaga, on Spain's Costa del Sol for a fast and funny two-day trial of the best the Costa has to offer. They head to the city's oldest bar, where wine is poured directly from 100-year-old barrels, then enjoy a walk along the Caminito del Rey footpath, which clings to the side of a cliff face 100 metres up. Their next attraction is the International Museum of Nativity Scene Art in the small town of Mollina, while back in Málaga itself, they learn how to cook the perfect sardine before visiting the birthplace of painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso.

Episode 2 - Rotterdam with Alex Brooker
Release Date: 2025-01-17Joe Lycett is joined by The Last Leg presenter Alex Brooker for a two-day tour of the Dutch city of Rotterdam. After taking the train direct from London, they launch into a break full of unusual activities, attractions and flavours. For accommodation, they swerve hotels in favour of Wikkelboats; eco-friendly floating houses insulated with corrugated cardboard, that come complete with hot tubs on deck. Once they're settled in, they book onto the Rooftop tour, taking in some of the most interesting roofs and views in Rotterdam, including a farm and the oldest skyscraper in Europe. For dinner, they head to Fermin - a restaurant that loves to use fermented flavours in its unique and inventive menu. Day two begins with a culture hit as they head to Rotterdam's largest gallery's storeroom, the futuristic Depot, before rounding off their caper with chips in peanut sauce, a stroll across a famous bridge and a game at the Dutch pinball museum, which gives Alex an idea for a whole new show.
