Katherine Ryan likes to enjoy the finer things in life but in a new Channel 4 series, her friend and fellow comedian Joe Wilkinson shows her how to getaway for less.
Joe and Katherine’s Bargain Holidays begins on Thursday 25 April at 10pm.
In Joe and Katherine’s Bargain Holidays, comedian Joe Wilkinson shows us how he loves a bargain and is dedicated to making as many savings as possible on holiday. Katherine Ryan, meanwhile, loves to lap it up in luxury, but if she can live the champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget, then she’s all ears. Now, the pair are joining forces to show the Great British public how to have a fantastic holiday for a next to nothing price.
Over six episodes, the duo embark on a relentless pursuit of bargainous getaways, both in the UK and further afield, showcasing a different type of holiday in each episode. Whether it’s the ultimate couple’s break on a shoestring budget, a wellness retreat that won’t break the bank, or a family seaside stay that won’t drain your pockets, Joe and Katherine have tons of ideas for cut-price holiday.
Together, they’ll visit the best undiscovered resorts, road-testing and reviewing the most value-for-money restaurants and activities in each destination, finding the best tips, tricks and hacks as they compile the ultimate bargain-packed itinerary.
In the first episode, bargain-hunter Joe takes Katherine to Norfolk for an affordable romantic getaway. They pose for Instagram-worthy pics in fields of Norfolk lavender, sleep in an enchanting church and enjoy an alternative spa experience. Joe has a romantic run-in with some owls, they serenade each other with poetry and even experience an alternative couple’s therapy session involving smashing things up. Joe and Katherine wrap up their trip with a picturesque boat trip on the Norfolk broads.
