EP2 Belgium and Holland May 31, 2002

Jeremy visits Belgium to discover if the nation is as boring as some Britons seem to believe, experiencing the thrills of the World Pipe Smoking Championship and meeting people who bet on whether a cow will drop a pat in a field.

The motoring enthusiast explores Germany, where he visits a laughter clinic intended to help serious Germans find their humorous side and discovers that nobody has even heard of Blue Nun wine.

EP4 Basque Country and Spain Jun 14, 2002

After four weeks on the road, Jeremy arrives in south-west France where he hopes to discover more about the Basques.

Later, he attends the Rioja festival, where everyone pours wine over their heads, and then he finds himself being pelted at a tomato-throwing fiesta.

EP5 Italy Jun 21, 2002

The irrepressible presenter heads for the Italian Riviera, meeting up with nouveau-riche Russians and viewing the last word in tasteless decor in a £15 million three-bedroom house.

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
