In the absence of foreign trips, the TV travelogue has stayed home this summer – and the results are more depressing than ever
Is there an easier pitch in TV than “What if we go on a road trip”? Apparently not: there’s Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad, and there’s Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, and there’s that Gordon, Gino & Fred thing they always do at Christmas, and arguably The Trip is in there as well. If you trace it back – if you read the ancient symbols buried deep beneath the soil of Albion you’ll see the words “ROAD TRIP CONTENT MAKES FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOUR OF TV” – this is all, I suppose, the fault of Michael Palin. Anyway, Paul Merton’s driving through Margate in a motorhome. He’d like to stop, but he can’t. He really has to make the campsite before they lose all their shooting light.
