Coach Trip

In this first episode, the intrepid travellers leave London, heading for Amsterdam, but unfortunately some of the passengers don't hit if off straight away.

The passengers leave Amsterdam and travel to Brussels to sample some of the local chocolate and taste the famous Belgian beer. But will the vote see the departure of the first couple?

It's another day and another country for the explorers as they cross the border into Germany. Trouble is brewing on the coach as some of the trippers are having problems waking up.

Starting from Madrid, a new coachload of 14 intrepid travellers head off across Europe in the second series of the travel programme with a difference.

The third series of the travel show with a difference starts in London, with the first port of call in Antwerp. One of the tourists, Deanne, claims she can predict the future from tarot cards. But will she be able to foresee how this adventure turns out?

The tourists visit Reims and the World War II Surrender Museum, before a merry trip to a Champagne house. One couple are already being singled out at vote time.

A walking tour of Luxembourg City gets mixed reviews and a pottery class proves popular for all the wrong reasons. The first new couple join the tour.

It's day one, and the new tour party is pretty unimpressed to discover that tour guide Brendan has decided to start their grand tour with a spot of sailing off the coast of Portsmouth.

The group arrive in Normandy, France on day two of the new Coach Trip, where they make a moving visit to a World War II museum, and then enjoy an archery lesson.

It's day three, and the coach stops in Le Mans, home of the famous 24 hour motor race. But forget 24 hours, the group barely last 24 minutes before being kicked off the racecourse for dangerous driving.

It was all aboard as the tour bus embarked on another adventure, this time from near Leeds. The first port of call was Kingston upon Hull with a spot of maypole dancing, before heading to Hull's spectacular aquarium. At the end of the day the couples voted and with three votes Yasmin and Neelofer received the first yellow card.

On day two of the trip the group arrived in Amsterdam for the second time in the history of the show. After touring the city's canals by pedalo they learned the exotic art of burlesque dancing. At the vote Brendan introduced the new voting rule: the couple who received a yellow card the previous day was immune from a yellow card the following day, meaning Yasmin & Neelofer could not be voted for, but could still cast a vote themselves. The couples voted for the second time and gave Amanda & Nicki their first yellow card with two votes, which put them in emotional danger.

The coach headed for rural Holland on day three for a life drawing class in Vincent van Gogh's house. The trippers' artistic 'talent' left Brendan crying with laughter. At the vote, with Amanda and Nicki being immune from any votes cast against them, it came to a three-way tie between Timo & Val, Glenn & Becca and Yasmin & Neelofer, all with two votes. The other couples had to agree on who to award a yellow card. They chose to give the yellow card, followed by the red card, to Yasmin & Neelofer meaning they were the first couple to be sent home.

The celebrity party gets straight on with the fun in Prague. First up is a lesson at the Czech National Ballet. Later they go for a hair-raising ride in old Soviet tanks. Two new arrivals join the coach in the shape of Big Brother's Ben Duncan and ex-Apprentice star Raef Bjayou

The coach leaves Prague for Pilzen in the west of the Czech Republic. A surprised Brendan finds himself naked in a beer bath with Ingrid Tarrant and Barry Chuckle. And Ricky Groves and Alex Ferns display a lot more of themselves than Bianca Gascoigne and Imogen Thomas bargained for

The travellers arrive in Regensburg, Germany, where Alex struggles with sausage-making, while Ricky shows off his cooking skills and prepares lunch for everyone. In the afternoon, the group embarks on a river cruise, but Brendan's educational efforts are scuppered by the presence of a keg of beer.

The new tour in the Mediterranean sun starts in Milan the famous place for fashion, and within hours the tourists are making a racket 'singing' opera next to the city's famous cathedral. At the first vote there are already signs of tension and daggers among this feisty group - Brendan's going to have his work cut out.

It's Day 2 of the brand new tour and the group travels to the stunning Lake Maggiore in the foothills of the Alps. The tourists get the chance to swim at one of the lake's exclusive islands. Two of the lads aren't shy when stripping off for a swim, causing one of the ladies to get very overexcited. But one couple who don't share in the fun find themselves under pressure at the vote.

The party crosses the Swiss border. But Brendan's planned 'snow day' hits the rocks when because of bad weather they shut all of the Cable Cars and ski area was closed since cable car suspension in Saas-Fee on Day 9 of series 4. Brendan takes them to a local museum instead, which gets mixed reviews. Later on disaster strikes when a tourist takes a tumble on the mountain and is rushed to hospital. And at the vote it's all out war between two couples as one pair accuse the other of neglecting and phishisically abusing their family by coming on the trip.

The ten tourists, including Big Brother stars Brian Belo and Spencer Smith, TV presenter Lizzie Cundy, showbiz partners Gary Cockerill and Phil Turner, TV legend Michael Barrymore and former MP Lembit Opik, begin their European travels in Monaco. The celebs race around the Monaco circuit in a Ferrari and some speedy electric buggies, but are forced to make a pit stop by the local police.

The celebrities swap the Mediterranean coast for the French Alps, trying snowboarding at the ski resort of Isola 2000, where WAG Lizzie Cundy is the suave ski instructor's favourite pupil.

At Cannes on the Côte d'Azur, the celebrities try their hand at beach volleyball. After the vote, two new arrivals, horse racing pundit John McCririck and his wife Jenny, join the tour.

Coach Trip is back on the road for a special Christmas series - a northerly mission to meet Santa Claus in Lapland.

On day two of the Christmas tour, the coach heads to Hell, a chilly Norwegian town where the tourists ride Icelandic ponies in a competitive relay that sees tour guide Brendan disqualified.

On the third day of the Christmas trip, the coach heads north through Scandinavia to Åre in Sweden, where the tourists go zip-wiring in the morning and sample moose meat in the afternoon. There are fireworks at the vote as one couple feel they have been singled out for criticism.

The tourists enjoy a clown lesson and an afternoon down on the farm. But who'll pick up the dreaded yellow card at the first vote of the series?

The celebs learn competitive frisbee. But behind the smiles there are already tensions building between Nikki Grahame and the older members of the group.

Brendan takes the celebs to the Croatian capital Zagreb to fight it out with the Olympic judo team. But Nikki boils over at a cookery lesson in the afternoon.

A new set of tourists meet in Blackheath, London, and quickly get to know each other over an Essex-style makeover including fake tan, vajazzling and fish pedicures.

The coach heads to Amsterdam, and the group try a spot of flower arranging. But the pace picks up in the afternoon when they hit the slopes.

The coach heads to Utrecht and, after a lesson in the art of flirting, the group try out their best chat-up lines on the locals.

The first day of the new tour finds the group making a sobering visit to Flanders Field, a World War I memorial site in Belgium, before taking in a round of Belgian beer tasting.

Day two includes some very messy chocolate making before it gets wet and wild with scuba diving at the world's deepest swimming pool.

The coach arrives in sleepy Luxembourg, where one tourist gets hands-on with a local pottery maker. Later Brendan is in his element on a Segway tour.

It's day one of a brand new tour and first stop is Brendan's backyard and a day in sunny Scarborough. After a morning making fish and chips, the tourists have a ripper of a time at a caricature class, before battle lines are drawn at the first vote.

The group have a spring in their step as they go on a bouncy Kangoo tour of Rotterdam, before tasting the local tipple at a Dutch gin museum. But it's the vote that leaves a bitter taste in the tourists' mouth.

Brendan resorts to cheating when the group are handed a tiling challenge at an open air museum. There's wide-eyed amazement over lunch, before one tourist sees the light at a skateboarding class - in a local church.

It's day one of a brand new tour as 14 fun-loving Brits begin the trip of a lifetime. The first stop is Split in Croatia, where one tourist makes an instant impression, on a fortress tour.

The tourists visit Omis in Croatia, where Brendan struggles with teething problems and the group goes rock climbing, before spending an afternoon making a local flat pie - with varying results.

The tourists arrive in Makarska, Croatia, and they slip and slide their way around an inflatable assault course at a local swimming pool. The group then visits a mandarin grove before one of the couples receive some bad news at the vote.
