My 84 year old granny is hysterical. She loves the television with a particular fondness for reality programmes. She has introduced me to quite a few shows, but I have to say she really got quite animated when explaining her new televisual find. This show was Coach Trip and having watched it quite a few times, I can't really say I share my grans enthusiasm for this show. However there is something quite addictive about this show which makes it unmissable. Coach trip is shown on weekday afternoons on channel 4. It follows couples who have entered the show in order to travel around various locations in Europe. The coach trip lasts for 6 weeks. Obviously the ...  Read the complete review

This is a strange programme all in all. Narrated by the excellent comedy writer David Quantick, we follow a set of couples on a coach, the twist in our reality obsessed times is that at the end of each leg of the coach journey one couple is voted off of the coach and a new couple replace them. The show is on Channel 4 on weekday afternoons and there is an edition on More 4 on Sunday afternoons where they show 4 or 5 episodes one after the other. The show is actually quite nice in a chilled out way, the couples are generally older couples looking for a break or younger couples knowingly going on their because it is a cult television ...  Read the complete review

While off on bank holiday Monday (my husband had to work), I found that there wasn't a huge amount to watch and ended up watching a couple of episodes of this. I think it is usually on channel 4, but I was watching it on a different channel (I can't remember which one). It is a half hour programme, which consists of couples of people on a coach trip around Europe. The people on the coach have to vote each day for their least favourite couple and the people with the most votes get a yellow card, and then if a couple gets 2 yellow cards during their trip, they have to leave and go home. I think the best bit about this programme for me is ...  Read the complete review

Coach trip is one of my favourite shows on tv at the minute with it being programmed in my planner for both the first showing and then the repeat just incase there is any problem with the recording not working properly but what is it all about? Coach trip sees a coach of people from the uk going out across the world in a travel come reality show. The people who are on the show are as pairs (be that couples, best friends, parent and child, etc) and during the show their aim is to stay on the coach trip as long as they can to experience as much as possible. Overseeing all activities and trips is the coaches tour guide Brendan (shown in picture) and he has ...  Read the complete review

I first saw Coach Trip on television a couple of years ago and my impression of it then was quite different from what it is now. I remember watching about half of an episode and eventually turned over the channel because I found the tour guide Brendan very irritating and the tourists seemed very argumentative, but in quite a dull way. Needless to say I wasn't very impressed! It would appear that my initial opinion of the show was in fact incorrect because the show is going from strength to strength at the moment and is currently in its fourth series. It was originally launched in March 2005 and the trips during the first three series lasted for thirty days and ...  Read the complete review
