Road Trip Anyone? Monte Carlo Or Bust

On Thursday October 26, 2010, from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm, watch a little internet television over at itv.com channel 1. itv.com will air the first episode of "Monte Carlo or Bust," In this show three couples hit the road on a mad-cap jaunt from London to Monte Carlo. Paired up to embark on this travel adventure are Jack Dee and Ade Edmondson, in a VW camper van, Jodie Kidd and Julian Clary, in a Bentley convertible and Penny Smith and Rory McGrath, in a union jack bedecked Mini Cooper.

Here, in part, is what itv.com says about the series:
As their journeys unfold taking in the stunning French countryside, winding around breath-taking mountains and cruising along the coastal roads the couples are tasked with collecting a total of three items that best represent the head, heart and stomach of each of the regions they are passing through.

The intrepid explorers are followed as they each find their own route through France and at the
end of each stage of their journey they are judged on what they have learned and collected along the way. The overall winners are revealed in the stunning setting of Monte Carlo in Monaco.
