Travel Man: 48 Hours in Madeira

Richard Ayoade and Robert Webb are finding out whether there’s more to the Portuguese island of Madeira than cake and fortified wine. There is, but they still seem underwhelmed, deciding not to return until they’ve retired.

They constantly try to outdo each other with their deadpan humour. Gazing at the Sao Lourenço palace, Ayoade likens it to a Harvester. “Harvesters don’t have cannons,” corrects Webb. “You’ve not been to Peckham then.”

There are gags about the EU, food and the famous carreiros (“Morris dancers who have retrained as wicker toboggan jockeys”). Not the best advert for Madeira, but it’ll make you laugh a lot.
