Season 1
Episodes
America
The pair start their travels in America, where the legal drinking age of 21 is the highest in the world, and Dom has a hallucinatory experience after tasting the Deep South's finest moonshine.
Russia
Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins' booze-fuelled adventure takes them to Russia, and the pair soon learn what it takes to fit into a society where 80 per cent of the world's vodka is consumed. After downing their drinks in a toast, they grill a spirits tycoon on the effect of his work on the country's youth, perform a morris dance, and meet a naked hairdresser and some sexy scientists.
Mexico
The prankster travels across Mexico in style with friend Pete Wilkins and a pint of pulque - the undistilled sap of the agave plant. After helping some farmers hack up a specimen for brewing, he samples the results with a member of the country's tequila mafia, as well as trying his luck in a local rodeo, learning drinking songs, and meeting a peyote shaman.
Australia
The Australian leg of the journey kicks off in Melbourne, where Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins witness a sophisticated side to drinking down under, tasting New World wines at the races. In the Outback, the pair sample local beer round the campfire as a reward for catching a 10ft crocodile.
Europe
The worldwide binge continues, taking Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins to Europe. The pair taste Belgian beer, soak in a lager-filled spa, and toast the beginning of a shift with factory workers in Prague, where the price of a pint is the equivalent of 30 pence. They also try to write poetry under the influence of absinthe, and set aside a sober moment to race on Formula One racing track the Nurburgring.
India
The worldwide booze cruise comes to an end in India, where Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins learn that social drinking is a growing trend, and meet a figure known as the Champagne King in his chateau in the Maharashtran hills. In Goa, the pair don hippie disguises to investigate the hedonistic lifestyle of the locals and learn that alcohol has a religious importance.

The Masked Singer
Part guessing game and part singing show, The Masked Singer sees 12 famous faces compete to pull off the best performance, with their identity elaborately and imaginatively concealed, thanks to an expert team of talented costume designers. The stars will be transformed and they will take on a masked identity and become a fantastic character which will disguise them for the whole series.
Forget any thoughts of fancy dress – they'll be full-on, original, movie-standard creations taking inspiration from worlds as varied as manga, superheroes, and wild animals and mythical creatures. Their transformations will be total, even their speaking voices will be disguised in interviews.
It will be up to a superstar panel to lead the viewers at home in their quest to discover who they are. Although the stars aren't judged on their voices, they'll still need to give their best performance – the audience's least favourite will be eliminated, before the panel try to guess their identity and unmask them.
