Paul Merton's Adventures is a comedy series, broadcast on the British television channel Channel 5 in October and November 2011. It starred the British comedian Paul Merton along with Peter Anderson and Stephen Frost. The series consists of 6 episodes, each based on a type of holiday.

Scenario

Merton keeps his comically-critical attitude while sampling some popular holiday types that never appealed to him, unlike millions of Britons. They range from cruises and 'extreme' holidays overseas (Ibiza, Florida) to English coastal resorts and adventurous Scotland.
