Travel documentaries need not be boring when you can tour the world in the company of some of the UK's wittiest, silliest tourists.

From a family bonding gap year trip with Jack Whitehall to fulfilling a lifelong dream of riding the open road with Billy Connolly. From fitting in as many quirky cultural attractions as one can into a mini-break with Richard Ayoade to forcing a reluctant traveller like Karl Pilkington to appreciate the world's wonders, we find that comedy and travel make the hilarious companions.
