Travel Man

Travel Man host Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace) travels to a city in Europe for 48 hours with an actor or comedian friend such as Paul Rudd, Chris O'Dowd or Noel Fielding. Equal parts travel show and buddy picture, the result is low-key, delightful banter between two witty people who suddenly find themselves in exotic and novel situations. I'd call it the television version of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's The Trip films, except that all of those films also have six-part television versions (which I believe are more watchable than the film versions).
