Season 1
S01:E01 - Iceland
Ah, Iceland, chiselled blonde ice maidens with skin like milk and hair like flax. Just the place to start Travel Sick with Grub Smith, suave ambassador and international playboy. But perhaps the only cleavage he's likely to get is his own skull, with a ruddy great Viking axe through the top of his Noggin the Nog from enraged local vikings. The Missions, should he choose to accept them:1 Snog Miss Iceland, Miss Iceland for all her frosted beauty is sure to melt under Grub's blowtorch charm. What Nordic beauty could resist a tongue sandwich with England's finest? Sending the rest of the world the puffin faced Bjork has not fooled us. Ice queen totty abounds in this northern fiefdom and Grub will be playing tonsil tennis for England with the most gorgeous of all. Possibly. 2 Hold a Viking Funeral, Viking Funerals? No problem, we've all sat through Kirk Douglas waving his axe about. Pillaging sometimes goes awry and if you want a one way ticket to Valhalla you need to get toasted in a boat. All you need now is a
S01:E02 - Morocco
Will he emerge a victorious Morrocan gold, or be an embarrassed Moroccan Red? Grub's sense has obviously deserted him arf arf. If the only caravan you've seen is some grotty unit in Morecambe get yourself a big slice of North African adventuring. It's a great cultural event with Camels and Snakes and watermelon sex. For those about to Morroco, we salute you. The Missions, should he choose to accept them:1 Pull out a Tooth, Modern dentistry is a nonce's game. All those fancy fangled painkilling methods. What you need is a blanket with teeth on it to show you are the man, a pair of pliers and good technique. Can Grub do it? Or will his victim scream blue murder while he tries to rip a molar out. Dental demon or Tooth Fairy, let the dentistry commence. 2 Charm a Snake, Charm a snake Swaying about before a bloke with a recorder is top fun for serpents. But, should the selector make a bad tune decision yonder snake will sink it's fangs into said hapless piper. 3 Shag a Watermelon, The precious love felt betwixt a
S01:E03 - Cambodia
Grub has taken the advice to go to Cambodia, missing the tiny factoid that Cambodia is a severed head Disney Land since Pol Pot failed to play nicely with his citizens.
S01:E04 - Turkey
The closest you've got to Turkey may be a lukewarm kebab, Grub gets a lot closer than he'd like.
S01:E05 - Korea
Swanning around the globe larging it, and getting set up by your sadistic challenge setter. You call that a Korea? It's a dog eat dog world, or rather a Grub eat dog world in Korea. One of the places Grub won't be going back to as he got set upon by a Tae Kwon Do enthusiast suffering a sense of humour failure. But we've got all the suffering for you in glorious not me o vision.

S01:E06 - Spain
Grub gets packaged off to sunny Spain and as just another Brit in a sea of chip fat and Watney's red barrel he must be able to complete his challenges and perhaps serenade a senorita or two into the bargain. These are the challenges that'll have Grub dangling his castanets in the fire for us. The Missions, should he choose to accept them: 1 Have tea with a monkey, For those of you thinking that George Bush is Spanish, he ain't. We need a bona fide tea drinking monkey. Lucky for us monkeys love tea almost as much as they get off on dressing up in human clothes and generally horrifying animal rights activists. 2 Fight a bullfighter, How tricky can it be to get a pint sized feisty cow stabber to have a good old fashioned fight? Come on then, you in the nancy boy gold braid and knee socks. I'll ave you. I'm tasty. I spilled your pint. Your bird's a dog. Te Gusta la comida en hospital hombre? 3 Find a Costa del Criminal, In the land of sovereign rings and leathery women in tacky get up, a crim can be hard to spot.
S01:E07 - The Phillipines
Philippinos are quiet people, Catholics and mean knife fighters ruled by shoe fetishist dictators and living quietly unnoticed in Asia. Alas, Grub has descended to shatter their peace, grease their pigs and go on the piss with their dwarves before bombing the place to kingdom come. Get a dose of culture with tonight's Travel Sick. If you keep taking the penicillin the swelling will eventually go down. The Missions, should he choose to accept them: 1 Double your money, Without the aid of a colour photocopier it'll be tricky. Fear not, there are horses to bet on, snails to race, natives to scam for handfuls of coloured beads. Double your money? A night with this kind of high roller and he'll have accumulated enough to buy the country, or lost another offensive shirt off his back. 2 Catch a greased pig, Despite the risk of a nightmare flashback to the oiled wrestlers of Turkey, Grub is gonna get himself a piggy. Slippery porker verses an athlete raised on Lord of The Flies. You're bacon mate. Come on now, squeal
S01:E08 - Jamaica
The chilled pace of life and irie vibe won't deter the Travel Sick team from dreaming up some killer challenges. Grub gets a curse put on him in a voodoo ritual.
S01:E09 - Australia
A country that sees Mad Max as a great cultural moment, peopled with convicts and half wits. Grub should blend in seamlessly.
S01:E10 - Germany
Ah, the Germans, the people we beat, sorry massacred at football. To prove there's no hard feelings we sent Grub to the land of the sausage munchers.
S01:E11 - Tennessee
The spiritual home of Elvis resounds to the sounds of Grub being punched repeatedly in the head. The rattling of pills signals a touching barbiturate and saturated fat snuff moment. The duelling banjo's of heavily armed hillbillies resound from the backwoods. Not forgetting the debut performance of 'The Chainsaw Sex Vikings from Beyond Memphis'. Think The Sound of Music meets Leatherface and be very afraid. The five challenges for you boy: 1. Git your ass in a pick up with a gun rack and head on over to Skullbone. This lil town is famous for 'skullbone', that's bare-knuckle boxing with no blows allowed below the neck. See the rednecks form an orderly cue and smack Grub repeatedly in the skullbone til he falls over and weeps like a sissy. 2 Play Banjo with a Hillbilly, Canoeing into deliverance country and knocking on the doors of the heavily armed and dangerously insane, then asking for a duet on the banjo. Smart move. There's a high risk of being swiftly lashed to a tree and sodomised with your plastic child
S01:E12 - New Orleans
Unleashing Grub into a world of necrophilia, voodoo and Jazz with a side order of man-eating alligators. Luckily Bourbon street is packed with curvaceous beauties who will jiggle their naked bosoms at those who survive the perils of the swamp. The five gumbo flavoured challenges are:1 Arm wrestle an Alligator, Little stubby arms, should be no problem. The alligator's arms are even littler. The problem lies in the rest of the beast with it's big smiley mouth ready to chomp up the nearest TV presenter. 2 Kiss a Corpse, Canoodling with a cadaver, even after a few drinks is going to be tricky. Time to enlist the aid of world famous necrophiliac Leila Wendell and bust open some graves. Does Grub get a stiffy? Watch and learn. 3 Yomp out of the Swamp, So you're up to your neck in oozy black mud and swamp water there are man-eating alligators on the loose, poisonous snakes and no choice but to keep going. Grub suavely lights up a fag and takes the biggest risk of the series. 4 Regain your Virginity, Born again Chris
