The Trip To Italy begins next Friday, April 4th on BBC2 at 10pm and features: Two men, six meals in six different places on a road trip around Italy – Liguria, Tuscany, Rome, Amalfi and ending in Capri.
The Trip was one of my favourite TV series of 2010 and saw Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon driving around the UK sampling various expensive restaurants while taking in the English countryside, all set against their very different home lives. The follow-up, also directed by Michael Winterbottom, has also been released in the US as a cut-down film, rather than a TV series, and received its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
One of my highlights of the first series was their meal at The Inn At Whitewell in the first episode, and it looked so fantastic that I went to try the restaurant for myself. I would’ve tried the others too, but they were all ridiculously expensive – except for the last one which was just a simple cooked breakfast and more a by-product, than a feature, of the finale.
A clip was released in January showing Coogan and Brydon debating The Dark Knight Rises, culminating in impressions of Bane.
