Season 7
Richard Ayoade is back on his travels, taking his usual ruthless approach to getting the maximum from a city break.
Episodes
Zurich
Richard Ayoade returns as Travel Man, delivering the definitive guide to a 48 hour minibreak in Zurich. Joining him to get the lowdown on Switzerland's largest city is Frank Skinner. On their wish list is a trip to a football museum as well as the Cabaret Voltaire, birthplace of the Dada art movement. There's also a ride on the steepest funicular railway in the world; a homage to the Swiss army knife; some hot chocolate, fondue and muesli; and a pedalo ride on Lake Zurich.
Ibiza
Richard Ayoade is joined by writer and actor Jessica Knappett for 48 hours in Ibiza - The White Isle. They tour the island in a silver Citroën 2CV, discovering that there is more to 'Beefa' than foam parties, as they take in al fresco art at Ibiza's version of Stonehenge; visit the Unesco world heritage site of Dalt Vila in the island's capital; and go to an exclusive supper club run by the global superstar chef Boris Buono. There's also some pricey cocktails, flowriding, a hippy gong bath, and a visit to the third most magnetic place on the planet.
Slovenia
Richard Ayoade is joined by comedy titan Eddie Izzard for two days in Slovenia. The fun starts in the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana - a city of 38 water fountains and a cave system so large it has a special underground railway. For refreshments, they try Slovenian tapas and the country's orange wine. Day two begins with a trip out of town to the stunningly beautiful Lake Bled, where they try summer tobogganing and a spot of rowing. There's also a magic church bell, custard pastries, and a funicular ride to Ljubljana Castle.
Milan
Richard Ayoade is joined by the actor and comedian Morgana Robinson for a sweltering two days in Milan. Together they criss-cross the city, taking in paintings, pasta, the bowling game of bocce, and a drink in the smallest bar in the world: Backdoor 43, which can hold a maximum of four customers at a time. At a viewing of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, Richard finds the painting to be 'quite good', but for Morgana, it's 'no Tracey Emin'. The duo also take in the city's epic cathedral and they drop in on a pasta-making lesson which proves strangely musical.
