Channel 5s new motorhoming programme.

How refreshing to watch a TV programme not based, yet anyway, on making a complete mockery of the hobby.

Only came in half way through, but enjoyed it and have set next weeks up to record. They did find that parking space at the RH&D railway easily though, I wish I could do that.😂

Only saw the first half-hour as OH's preference for "Endeavour" took precedence. As posted above, seemed more realistic than the concocted humour of previous offerings. Will catch up with the rest of it at some stage. Could be a series worth sticking with.

I enjoyed it, predictable but entertaining. If only the rest of us could park up so easily to see places! Will look forward to the next programmes. smile

Do we know when this was filmed?, where are all the people, camp sites are empty. I knew it was going to be stage managed when they drove off with what looked like maps or papers on the table, which mysteriously vanised and not on to the floor undecided, I wonder how much they are getting paid for making this program,foot-in-mouthlook forward to next episode if only to keep me interested looking for obvious errors cool

It is much easier we found with our motor caravan to park at the Dungerness end and do the trip from that endcool

agreed, ive seen far, far worse camping programs.....

but like all of them, they dont get much time to go into detail about the places they visit....or how they get to park so easily!

the one outside the lifeboat station in Whitstable (for the oysters) was actually on the yellow lines next to the up and over orange door!....

i wonder what the fine would be for us mere mortals?

The scripted sketch of Paul Merton fumbling with his first attempt to plug his cable in was an indication of what was to come. Knocking a bit off an expensive looking wing mirror and then thumping it back into place was pure theatre. We both decided the programme was not really about motorhoming and so switched off. From the other comments it appears we missed the good bits as a resultcry
