  • admin

Starting tonight on BBC1 is an adventure travel challenge made up of 12 celebrities as they attempt their own version of Around The World In 80 Days.

The mission is in aid of the charity Children in Need and the celebs form six teams and in relay, attempt the challenge without flying! Tonight at 9pm sees British comedians Frank Skinner and Lee Mack start the journey, which takes them from London to the Turkey/Iraq border. Here the next relay team of Nick Hewer and Saira Kahn, takes over.

Watch tonight as the first team travel through Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Istanbul and Cappadocia. The modes of transport include train, bus and horseback!

Frank and Lee have wicked senses of humor so tonightโ€™s show promises to be full of comedy moments and amazing landscapes โ€“ and itโ€™s all to raise money for charity!

If you do watch tonight (or online/on catch-up/recorded)  then do tell us what you thought of the show in the comments belowโ€ฆ
