Cornwall

Carmarthenshire
John Thomson and Simon Day are off to Wales, Carmarthenshire to be precise, where they have to learn to shear sheep, make Welsh cakes and join a bunch of pagans among other oddities.
SussexJohn Thomson and Simon Day are off to good old Sussex by the sea - home of Mod and Rocker fisticuffs, a ghostly haunted hotel, naughty what-the-butler-saw end of the pier machines, a medieval festival and a chilli eating challenge.
Warwickshire
Look out Warwickshire, comedians John Thomson and Simon Day are heading to your county to discover what makes it unique. This time they're foraging for food in the woods, joining a Shamanic ceremony and recruited to the Royal Warwickshire Regiment circa 1914.
Herefordshire

What the chaotic pair end up doing is searching for poisonous snakes, fighting a vicious battle in the War of the Roses, auctioning carcasses of sheep and meeting a man with the biggest collection of latex dolls in the world. Don't ask!
Lancashire
John Thomson and Simon Day head for Lancashire, the county of Blackpool and black pudding. This time the comedians are challenged to eat the biggest breakfast in the world, stuff road kill, join the Hare Krishnas and have a western style gun fight with each other.
Essex
Comedians John Thompson and Simon Day find themselves in Essex trying to uncover what is unique about the county. Instead they end up milking goats, performing magic and playing darts with a diamond geezer.
