Coach Trip is a reality TV show shown on Channel 4 in Britain. Two series have so far been made, with the first series already shown in 2005 and the second currently airing. The shows format consists of seven teams of two travelling around Europe on a coach for six weeks. The tour guide is called Brendan Sheerin and the drivers name was Chris. Everyday there is a vote where teams have to vote another team to leave the show. The team with the most nominations on one show will get a yellow card and if it is repeated on another day they receive a red card and must leave the show, with another team coming on to replace them. The first series which was shown at 4:30pm and repeated the following morning developed a small cult following.

The Trip Day by Day

Arrival day and Day 1 of the trip

All the contestants were greeted at Madrid airport by tour guide Brendan and they then went to their hotel where they got to know each other. On the first evening the youngsters in the group were drinking heavily and Alan performed a strip tease in front of the fellow coach trippers. The next morning Brendan had to warn them about their behavior, noting this was not an 18 to 30 holiday. The coach trippers were taken on an open topped bus tour of Madrid and then had a tour of Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium. At the vote at the end of the day Alan and Lorenzo received 2 votes, Connie and Betty also received 2 votes, but Paul and Heidi received 3 votes which meant they received a yellow card.

Day 2

Day 2 began with the news that Irene had felt ill over night and would have to see a doctor, so her and husband John did not go on the day's trip. The rest of the coach trippers were taken to the town of Segovia. In the morning they were taught how to cook a local dish. In the afternoon they had a tour of the Alcázar. In the days vote Kat and Clare received one vote, Eileen and Lan received one vote, Alan and Lorenzo received two votes and Connie and Betty received three votes, meaning they received a yellow card. John and Irene were allowed to cast their vote over the phone dispite not taking part in the days trip.

Day 3

The day started with the news that due to Irene still not feeling well her and John would be leaving the trip. Brendan was annoyed with Clare and Kat and John and Kerry for oversleeping but the coach was delayed due to John and Irene's departure. The morning in Salamanca was spent learning how to make traditional Castilian Pottery. In the afternoon they were given a spanish lesson. In the day's vote Kerry and John received one vote, Alan and Lorenzo received one vote, Clare and Kat received one vote and Paul and Heidi received three votes, which meant they recieved their second yellow card, followed by a red card.

Day 4

The day began with news that Lorenzo had left one of his shoes in the hotel they had stayed at in Madrid. The coach trippers made their way across the border to Portugal, going to the town of Monfortinho. There they enjoyed a couple of hours at a spa. Clare also received news of her university exam results from home, with her receiving an Upper Second degree. Brendan also received news that the Madrid hotel had found Lorenzo's shoe. The group then had a jeep ride up a mountain, to a restaurant where they would be eating dinner. At the day's vote Brendan revealed that they would not be voting for who they want to leave the trip but instead who they thought deserved to receieve a night in a luxury hotel suite. Betty and Connie received one vote, but Alan and Eileen received four, meaning they received the night in the suite.

Day 5

The day began with an argument between Clare and Brendan after some confusion about departure times. Two new couples arrived to replace those which had left, these were Bill and Ray, and Jackie and Phill. The days trip was to Tamar. In Tamar they visited a castle. In the afternoon they hhad an archery lesson, followed by a competition, which was won by Connie and Betty. Their prize was supposed to be breakfast in bed served by Brendan, however this would depend on them surviving the days vote. At the voteKat and Clare received one vote, Alan and Lorenzo received two votes and Connie and Betty received four votes. This meant they received a red card.

Day 6

The day started with Brendan serving Phil and Jackie breakfast in bed, at the request of Connie and Betty who could not take the prize they won the previous day. The day's trip was to Lisbon. Firstly they visited an Oceanarium. In the afternoon they enjoyed a port wine tadting session aboard a tram and then had a tile painting lesson. At the days vote Bill and Rae received one vote, John and Kerry received one vote, Alan and Eileen received one vote and Phil and Jackie received three votes meaning they received a yellow card. They had predicted this earlier as the new couples feel the old couples are plotting to vote them off. After the vote new couple Joe and Marlon arrived. Brendan, tired of the coach trippers continuously arriving late in the mornings gave an explicit warning that anyone late the next morning would automatically receive a yellow card.
