Coach Trip

I happened to stumble upon this programme a few days ago when nothing else was on, and have become somewhat hooked. I don't know if it's the current series as it's on Sky Three, but I imagine the format is the same for every series. 7 couples travel on a coach throughout Europe, enjoying regular stops in interesting places and doing a variety of different activities. It gives the viewers a brief glimpse at many places in Europe, which is nice. At the end of each day every couple have a public vote for which couple they think should be sent home. I would find that really hard to do, and it's obvious some of them hate voting for another couple, but then again, ...  Read the complete review

Coach Trip is a reality competition show where a group of strangers are thrown together on a coach trip around Europe. The show is host to seven teams each made up of two people which can be any sort of couple from husband and wife, mother and daughter or two friends. The coach trip lasts for six weeks and each pair has to avoid being voted off by the other members of the trip. At the end of every day, every pair names the couple they wish to vote off and the couple with the most votes receives a yellow card. If a couple with a yellow card receive the most votes on another night, they receive a red card and then have to pack up their bags and are sent home. A ...  Read the complete review

I stumbled across Coach Trip whilst a student in 2005. The second series followed in 2006 whereupon it took a break and the third series ran in 2009.

They experience the local culture in the form of visiting local landmarks, partaking in workshops, engaging in physical activities and participating or witnessing traditions. They are led by their tour guide, the inimitable Brendan Sherrin, experienced and virtually unflappable. The 'plot twist', if you ...  Read the complete review

Coach Trip is a Channel Four programme that was first shown in 2005. It gained a cult following (probably from the student masses!) and is now running it's third series on weekday teatimes on Channel Four (with repeats of the whole weeks' episodes on saturday afternoons, again, on Channel Four). The idea of the programme is that seven couples board a coach to travel around Europe under the guidance of their tour guide, the incomparable Brendan Sheerin (shown in the picture above). At the end of each day, the couples all vote to eliminate someone from the trip. The person with the most votes gets a yellow card. If this happens a second time, that couple gets a ...  Read the complete review

Coach trip is another reality TV show that brings out the nastiness of people. I can't stand the show and yet I find myself looking forward to watching it. Am I being nasty enjoying watching nastiness on TV. Coach trip is aired nowadays on More4 on Sundays and I believe on other cable channels.
