Richard Ayoade, a man who would much rather be at home, offers a guide to the best way to spend 48 hours in some of the most exciting places on Earth. Joining him are a quartet of the most funny and famous people ever to appear on a television travel show. This is Travel Without Mercy. Richard's odyssey begins in Barcelona in the company of Kathy Burke. They tour the city by Pedicab and visit the famous Camp Nou stadium before a cava tasting gets out of hand. Adam Hills joins Richard for a double day dose of Istanbul, criss-crossing between Europe and Asia and enjoying an evening of raki and tripe soup. Richard has a close shave and Adam haggles over a rug in the Grand Bazaar, before they both get uncomfortable in a Turkish Bath. Jessica Hynes is Richard's travelling companion for a frozen 48 hours in Iceland. They tour the island's Golden Circle of geysers and waterfalls by helicopter, sample the distinctive taste of rotten shark and attend The Elfschool. Finally Stephen Mangan accompanies Richard for two days in Marrakech. They sightsee by balloon, get lost in the maze of the city's streets and dine on a dubious delicacy; boiled sheep's head.
