- Season 1
Paul Merton and Suki Webster head to Wales on their motorhoming holiday. Driving to the beautiful Snowdonia National Park or Eryri as it is now known in Welsh. Paul is behind the wheel and while the narrow windy roads are making him nervous, Suki's limerick challenge soon calms him. They pitch up at Lake Bala, Wales's biggest natural lake, where they meet Kieran and Kat who have converted an old horse box into a family-sized motorhome. With the water calling, the duo take part in the lake's many water sports starting with paddle boarding and ending with a little synchronised swimming. The following day they're off to the Mach Loop valley – a famous flight path for the RAF fighter pilot training at nearby Anglesey. Once they've enjoyed a "Top Gun" moment they drive to campsite Bryn Y Gwin, run by artist Ian, who's perfected the art of painting on swan feathers. The pair then settle down for their own take on a drive-in movie.
Suki Webster and husband Paul Merton are in God's Own Country: Yorkshire. Keen to get a taste of the area they head to Masham for a tour around one of its independent breweries, and Dan, the head brewer, shows them how to create the perfect pint. Later that afternoon they head to the famous Tan Hill Inn, for a spectacular view of the dales and a place to stay. They dine in their own private dome and Suki has a Yorkshire pudding she'll never forget. The following morning, inspired by their woolly neighbours, Paul arranges a sheep dog training session for animal loving Suki. Driving through the Buttertub pass they soon arrive to meet sheep dog trainer Richard, and his four-legged friends Lola, Keith and Sim. With the flock soon in their pen, the couple head to Settle for a lesson in railway signals but not before stopping at the incredible spectacle of the Ribblehead Viaduct. It's another action-packed day but there's just enough time for them to get to their campsite for the night at the Dalesbridge, meet Motorhomers Ross and Diane before one last Yorkshire tradition: Wensleydale and fruit cake.
This week husband and wife Paul Merton and Suki Webster are in Devon, famous for its spectacular coastline, pristine beaches, Devonshire cream teas and two national parks. The couple visit one of them: Dartmoor to meet local guide Nick for a Sherlock inspired tour. It was here that Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired to write one of his most famous novels: The Hound of the Baskervilles, but on such a glorious sunny day, it's a far cry from the spooky mist covered moors in the book. Whilst here Paul and Suki meet Kate and Norman part of the Wheeled Access group, an organization that encourages anyone with a disability to get out and enjoy the area. After a quick tour of Norman's clever Motorhome adaptation for his mobility scooter, Paul and Suki head to nearby Tavistock to solve the cream team conundrum - jam and then cream, or cream then jam? Only a blind taste test will solve it, so they pitch up at Croyde Bay for the night, one of Devon's most famous surfing destinations. The following day the pair decide to recreate their own favourite beach scene, although it's less Hollywood more Cricklewood, and after a brief paddle they're off to Merry Harriers Garden Centre, home to over two and a half thousand gnomes. After a tour of the gnome sanctuary Suki and Paul meet Lorna and Chris who have adopted the garden accessories and lend a hand restoring some of the more weather worn ornaments.
Paul Merton and Suki Webster explore the New Forest, encountering `commoners" Tess and Ollie, who have earned the right for their ponies to roam freely in the area. With the help of farrier Ben, Suki learns how to remove a horseshoe and takes home her own bit of luck, and the couple visit hives in Hythe for a spot of beekeeping.
Paul Merton and Suki Webster explore the Cotswolds, helping Richard and his apprentice Innis build a dry stone wall before driving to their first off-grid campsite, pitching up for the night for an al fresco three-course dinner. The next day they visit the the Rollright Stones, where they meet Sharp and Blunt, an all-female morris dancing group from nearby Adderbury.
Paul Merton and Suki Webster take to the roads again, beginning by heading to Cornwall, home to crystal-clear waters, picturesque fishing villages and beautiful beaches. Their first destination is the Lizard - the most southerly point on the British mainland - where they go seal watching, before going out with a local fisherman to try their hands at catching spider crabs.
Paul and Suki visit Norfolk for the final leg of their UK tour. Their first stop-off is Great Yarmouth's quieter neighbour, Gorleston-on-Sea. With its three miles of award-winning golden sandy beach, it retains its traditional Victorian seaside holiday vibe - including a Punch and Judy show. The duo discover puppetry's satirical roots before doing their own show.
Paul and Suki are in the Peak District on their UK staycation adventure in their trusty motorhome. The first morning finds them in a campsite north of Bakewell, and they debate who should empty the on-board loo. Later, Suki reveals they are swapping four wheels for two after hiring bikes on the nearby Monsal Trail, a disused former railway line.
Paul and Suki venture into Wales and the Brecon Beacons National Park. After a breathtaking drive along Sarn Helen, a network of ancient Roman roads, they arrive at their first port of call, where they go `sheep trekking" with local farmer Paul and his daughter, Nicola. They also have a go at sheep shearing, and Suki especially enjoys bottle-feeding the lambs.
Paul Merton and wife Suki Webster head for Somerset on the next leg of their grand UK tour in their motorhome - now christened Captain Narrow Squeak. Their first destination is Minehead, where they charter a fishing boat and, much to their surprise, land a small haul of fish for their supper - except they don't have the heart to keep them, so throw them all back.
Paul Merton and his wife Suki Webster are in the Lake District, the first time they've had a holiday there. Their first destination is Kendal, but first they have to negotiate their motorhome under a low bridge. Later they go to the Kendal mint cake factory, and after crossing Lake Windermere by ferry from Bowness, they head to a beautiful campsite on Coniston Water.
The couple begin their journey in Canterbury, where they pick up their cruiser and set off on their first-ever staycation on wheels touring Kent's coastline.
