What: In the docu series Travel Man, British actor/director Richard Ayoade travels with other vaguely recognizable semi-celebrities to Barcelona, Istanbul, Iceland, Marrakech, Vienna, Paris, Copenhagen, and Moscow.
Like other dry Brits before him, Ayoade is reluctant to enjoy most things, which makes this whole series absolutely delightful.
Tag line: "We're here, but should we have come?"
Representative quote bonanza:
"Mini-breaks are a swelling nebula of nonsense."
"I feel pretty good about this, actually. I feel less bad than I normally do, which for me is a ringing endorsement." [on riding a camel]
"To ensure solitude for our final foray, I have of course chartered a battery-powered self-driven island."
"As ever, day two starts with staring at cakes through glass."
How to get it: Pay attention here. If you're in the U.S., some kindly soul has uploaded high-quality video of all eight episodes here. Hurry now, before they get taken down.
