Just seen an advert for an up and coming program on Channel 5 called "Celebrities on 5 go motor-homing" don't know if either Club is behind this or we just have some more staff that want to make themselves look right pill****.

Well done the girls.  Two of the three men are wimps!  Lovely scenery despite the bad weather.  Roll on Scotland next week.

Yes, a rather more realistic portrayal of the hobby this episode.

Nice that Nick Heyward vowed to buy a campervan himself.

Agree and I had a good laugh in places, mind you they did rather gloss over getting to New Quay sea front although I did see some smaller motorhomes parked in the car park at the top of the town when there last month.

Watched both episodes back-to-back last night and it was a travelogue type of programme about people using Motorhomes and was entertaining and enjoyable.

Despite the Celebs initial misgivings the way the programme was put together showed that most of them were growing into the Motorhome life.

It wasn't a 'put down' or cynical look at them but just a bit of fun to entertain the viewers.

Emptying cassettes, filling and/or emptying with water, normal practice for most of us, isn't exactly entertaining to watch and I can understand why the basics are better left out and the more pleasant side of life on the open road is enhanced.

Whatever your opinion of the 'Celebs' and their banter you can't deny that it wasn't as crass or embarrassing as the previous comedy show about 'Caravanner of the Year' which brought merriment to most people for all the wrong reasons.

Roll on Scotland - and another enjoyable hour of viewing.

Well, it's all finished the end of the road has been reached and I must say it was better than I expected. Could have something to do with the club not getting too involved at least not on camera. Saw plenty of roads that we drove along during our visit to Scotland this year and plenty of roads in Wales we intend on driving along next year. Ok, not all the celebs took to it like they should have but in the end, they were piling praise onto the Life. I can see the next series been Celebrities on 5 go Motorhoming in Europe.
