SERIES OVERVIEW:
High Road, Low Road is a rib-tickling travel show which pairs top celebrities and sends them off to far flung destinations for an unforgettable adventure of discovery, culture and fun! Both are headed to the same location, but they’ll have very different experiences.
For one holidaymaker, it’s first class travel, luxury hotels and the finest cuisine. Five-star all the way. For their companion, it’s economy travel, questionable digs and suspect street food. Is it possible to have a zero-star rating?
Each episode sees our comedy duo meet at the airport, where their mystery travel destination is revealed. Prior to this, the only information they know about their destination is the climate so that they can pack accordingly. Our friends are presented with a choice of two envelopes. In one, is everything they need for a five-star holiday extravaganza; first class plane tickets, limo transfer from the airport, the key to a luxurious hotel suite. Inside the other? Well, they’re still getting a fab holiday, but for them it’s economy flights, stuffy coach transfers which they have to book themselves, hostel accommodation and a measly pittance for a daily budget. It’s the luck of the draw who gets what!
So as one is driven off in a limo to their
luxurious five-star hotel, the other sets off to find the number 19 bus
to their hostel. They will meet up several times on the trip to compare
notes, and gloat.
But at the end it’s interesting to hear them talk and decide who has had the better time…
