The Trip is a six part comedy series which follows the journey of odd couple Brydon and Steve Coogan on an improvised tour of the north of England. The story may be fictional but the characters are based on loose versions of themselves in a kind of way.

Coogan, a food critic, is commissioned by the food supplement of a Sunday newspaper to review half a dozen restaurants and plans a business-mixed-with-pleasure trip with his girlfriend. However, she ends the relationship, which leads to Coogan reluctantly inviting along the only person he can think of who will be available - his friend Brydon.

Over the course of six meals at six different restaurants in and around the Lake District, Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, the ultimate odd couple find themselves debating the big questions of life over a series of culinary delights.

The series is directed by Michael Winterbottom and builds on the success of previous collaborations between the comedy pair such as A Cock And Bull Story and 24 Hour Party People. A feature length film of the series was recently shown at the London Film Festival.

The Trip starts on Â鶹Éç Two Wales on Monday 1 November at 10pm.
