Comedians will seek out budget breaks

Joe Wilkinson and Katherine Ryan are to host a new Channel 4 travel series.

In Joe and Katherine’s Bargain Holidays, the comics will seek out cheap getaways both in the UK and abroad.

They will  review the best value-for-money restaurants and activities over the six episodes, each of which will showcase a different type of break, such as a  couple’s retreat or  a girls’ weekend.

Wilkinson said: ‘If pushed on it, I’d have to say my three favourite words are: "bargain", "holiday" and "voucher" (and "large vacuumed packed portable food bags…". This series gets under the skin of all three. We’re going to uncover the biggest bargain holidays in the world and we’re going to have some fun doing it. (And some tears, I well up at the drop of a hat)."

Ryan added: ‘Three of my favourite words are: "cocktails", "Maldives" and "helicopter". This series is really going to test my friendship with Joe."

The show is being made by production company Hungry Bear Media.
