Shaun Keaveny presents the travel series that isn’t going anywhere. Not until we’re convinced these destinations are worth getting off the sofa for.

    Catherine Bohart: Lisbon, Portugal

    Catherine Bohart: Lisbon, Portugal

    What's not to love in a romantic, arty, cool waterside city full of colourful buildings? Well, Shaun finds city breaks a bit tiring but if Catherine lays a trail of egg custard tarts then Shaun will surely follow. Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence joins the pastry trail.

    Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Ghosts star Kiell Smith-Bynoe loves a pool party, but Shaun doesn't want to take his top off. Perhaps the prospect of seeing a shark in the mall could tempt Shaun to the third most visited city on the planet. Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence is sceptical.

    Anita Rani: Mumbai, India

    Anita Rani: Mumbai, India

    Anita says Mumbai is the LA of India but when Shaun was in the actual LA he got lost in a massive bathroom showroom. So Anita has a lot to do to get him to the bustling 24-hour city that has something for everyone, except perhaps Shaun Keaveny. Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence joins their trip.

    Stephen Mangan: Erris, Co. Mayo, Ireland

    Stephen Mangan: Erris, Co. Mayo, Ireland

    Stephen is determined to take Shaun back to their ancestral homeland, to experience the blanket bog of this bleak and beautiful area of the West of Ireland. Shaun feels the yearning in his blood but his blood also runs cold at the local weather forecasts. Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence puts on her anorak to join them.

    Anneka Rice: Hong Kong, China

    Anneka Rice: Hong Kong, China

    Anneka wants to take Shaun back to the place and time that made her: the intense rush of Hong Kong in the 1980’s, where she lived and worked a variety of improbable jobs from kung fu film dubbing to jeans modelling. But Shaun is not sure that intense rushes are for him, although he is drawn to the Blade Runner-like skyscrapery vertiginous appeal of the place. And also to the pavement chicken. Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence has lived there too and tries to help him see through the smog.

Been missing Shaun Keaveny off the radio, as a fellow Lancastrian I’m enjoying his realistic take on travel advice.
