Review

Drinking with strangers, grimy hostels and underwear shortages – anyone who says their gap year was the best time of their life is probably lying. This comedy drama, by Plebs writer Tom Basden, about two childhood friends who fly to China on an extended “lads’ holiday” shows the travelling experience in all its nightmarish, sometimes wonderful, glory as they meet a host of eccentric people along the way.

It’s a funny enough first episode littered with tender moments, thanks to comedian Tim Key, who plays a relentlessly chirpy Brit who wants to relive his 90s gap year and The Fall’s Aisling Bea who plays a hilariously bad-tempered honeymooner.
