Coach Trip is a reality game show originally broadcast on Channel 4 from 7 March 2005 to 30 June 2006. The programme returned after a three-year break, from 25 May 2009 to 9 March 2012. In early 2013, the show went into hiatus again and was replaced by 2 new shows, Brendan's Magical Mystery Tour and Brendan's Love Cruise. However, in September 2013, Channel 4 announced that they had renewed Coach Trip for another series in 2014 which has now aired.[1] On 9 April 2014, a further four series were announced following the success of the ninth series in early 2014.[2]
The show's format consists of four to seven teams of two undertaking a coach tour principally of continental Europe (but with individual series including sojourns into North Africa and Western Asia) and has been sold to other countries.
The tours have usually lasted 20, 30 or 50 days (celebrity series tours have lasted 10 days and Christmas series tours have lasted 15 days), with passengers remaining on the tour only until they are ejected by their companions on one day, to be replaced by a new couple the following day(s).
The travellers are accompanied by tour guide Brendan Sheerin, who appears in every episode.

Broadcast, narrators and repeats
Coach Trip originally aired weekdays at 4:30pm before Deal or No Deal debuted on Channel 4 (followed by a repeat the following morning), with the second series aired at 2:55pm instead (and then repeated between July and August 2007). Since the revived series, Coach Trip has moved to the 5:00pm slot (in series 3, 4, 7, 9, Celebrity Coach Trip 2 & 3 and Christmas Coach Trip) and later to the 5:30pm slot (in series 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and Celebrity Coach Trip 1) on Channel 4.
In series 3, an omnibus edition was also shown on weekends but was cancelled part of the way through the series. It returned for series 9 on More4.
Andy Love was the narrator in the first two series, with David Quantick taking the role in both series 3 & 4. From series 5 to 8, Dave Vitty was the show's narrator; he was also the narrator for all the Celebrity and Christmas series' of Coach Trip to date. The current narrator is Jackie Clune as of series 9.
4seven currently show repeats of series 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, More4 repeated all series, and defunct Sky Travel, Pick (then known as Sky Three/Sky3/Pick TV) and defunct Sky Real Lives have all only repeated series 1 & 2 of Coach Trip along with defunct Channel 4 scheduling slot, T4 on weekend mornings. Celebrity Coach Trip began showing repeats on Travel Channel in May 2014.[3]
Future
A Channel 4 spokesperson said the broadcaster previously had no plans to commission another series, as series 2 of Christmas Coach Trip would have been the last installment.[4] Brendan later said in June 2013, during a telephone interview to Paul about his 2 new shows, that "Coach Trip has been rested at the moment – it’s not the end of the programme, but we decided that we’d experiment with two new formats".[5]
On 4 September 2013, Channel 4 announced there would be another series of Coach Trip consisting of 30 episodes, each 30 minutes long.[1] Sheerin and Donald both returned to the show. Applications for the new series opened on the same day. On 9 April 2014, it was confirmed by Digital Spy that the show would return for a further four series (80 episodes in total).[2]
A Channel 4 spokesperson said it is now unknown whether Coach Trip will return for a fourteenth series as no official confirmation or audition/casting information has been released by Channel 4.
Voting system
Unlike most coach trips the passengers vote and privately discuss (before the vote) for who they don't like travelling with at the end of each day. Whoever gets the most votes is awarded a yellow card, if they are voted for again they receive a red card and are sent home to be replaced by a new pair. Yellow cards have been occasionally awarded to couples due to timekeeping issues; Red cards have also been presented to couples on occasion, although when this is done it is normally the result of certain travellers' bad behaviour or canvassing for votes.
The vote usually takes place at the days location and occasionally on board the coach, while travelling to the next destination or to the hotel, in front of each other. If a red card is awarded to a couple, the coach is stopped and the contestants collect their suitcases, miss the overnight vehicle ferry, miss the overnight vehicle train and also leave the trip. During the vote, Brendan acts as co-ordinator of the vote and awards the couple the yellow/red card. If a tie vote occurs, Brendan takes the nominated couples to one side while the remaining couples decide who should be awarded the penalty card, treat or prize. New couples who arrive after the originals are immune from the first vote that they are present at, although they are allowed to vote against another couple (unless they are also a new couple).
If Brendan thinks that the couple canvass for votes, overtake the previous vote, instigate a fight at the vote or shows inappropriate sexual behaviour they will automatically receive a red card and the vote will either begin or continue without them.
Voting amendments
On Day 19 of Series 2, the voting rules were amended once after revealing the quiz winners and losers so contestants cannot vote for the winning couple and the losing couple loses the chance to cast votes against others. Also on Day 24 of Series 3, Day 25 of Series 6 and Day 1 of Series 7, the voting rules were amended once after the announcement about the red terror which also returned from Days 5, 6 and 7 until Day 9 of the Celebrity Coach Trip series and Day 12 of Christmas Coach Trip series, whoever receives the most votes will automatically be given a red card. This is regardless of whether the couple already has a yellow card or not.
Also, from Day 2 of Series 5, the voting rules were again amended so contestants cannot vote for the couple who got a yellow card the previous day and that system would soon be reintroduced for upcoming/future series.
Voting alterations
Votes have occasionally been altered to accommodate for a lack of couples like 8 or 10 passengers on board the coach or for other reasons.
On Day 4 of Series 2, the vote was changed after first John & Irene's early departure, due to their ill health; then Paul & Heidi receiving a red card later at the previous day's vote and on Day 14 of Series 2 the vote was changed again after first Clare and Kat received a red card at the previous day's vote then Alan & Lorenzo refused to get out of bed followed by stationary traffic with an accident in front. On Day 12 of Series 4, the vote was also changed after a fight had broken out on board the coach between Bruce & Jon and Tam & Jayson before new couple Mark & Mary arrived, this normally results in the couples on board voting for who they want to receive a treat rather than the penalty cards.
Introduced by July 2010, effective from Series 5, five couples became the new minimum required for a vote to take place. The voting system of awarding a treat was reintroduced during Series 8 and during the Christmas series.
On Day 17 of Series 1 and Day 19 of Series 3, Brendan decided to skip the vote due to shortages of couples. On Day 21 of Series 2, the vote was suspended due to the contestants learning of the 7 July 2005 London bombings. The Air travel disruption after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption and the 2011 England riots were not revealed to the contestants before Series 5 and 8 began filming.
The final vote
The final vote is usually altered on Day 10 of 10, Day 15 of 15, Day 20 of 20, Day 29 of 30 and Day 49 of 50; this normally results in the couples on board voting for who they want to receive a prize rather than the penalty cards.
In the first two series, the winners received an extended stay in the final destination of the trip as their prize, while in the third and sixth series, the winners received a holiday voucher. The winners of the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth series received another coach holiday as their prize. Celebrity series winners receive £1,000 for their charities and Christmas winners also receive another coach holiday voucher as their prize.
Coaches, registration plates and drivers
The coaches used are supplied by Motts Travel, a coach hire company based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.[6] The coaches are installed with cameras and microphones to record the passengers while on board. The coaches used in the show are decorated with a Union Flag design on the outside.
- The first coach 'T100 MTT' was a Volvo B10M with Jonckheere Mistral 50 bodywork. It was used during Series 1 and Series 2.
- The coach 'MT04 MTT' arrived in Central London to be used for Series 3 only. It is a Volvo B12B with Plaxton Panther bodywork.
- The coach 'MT09 MTT', also a Volvo B12B/Plaxton Panther, was used between Series 4 and 13.
There have been three different drivers who drove each coach on each different series. In the first series, the driver was Chris Groombridge who only drove T100 MTT. Series two saw his successor, Paul Donald take over as coach driver until the eleventh series. On Day 13 in Series 8, a temporary driver (Jamie) took over for the day and drove the coach to the ferry port. Series eleven saw Malcom ? take over as coach driver
List of arrival/final day locations
Throughout the different series of Coach Trip, Brendan has appeared in a variety of different locations both in the United Kingdom and European airports or hotels in order for him to pick up the couples boarding the coach.
