Brendan's Magical Mystery Tour is a reality game show broadcast since 24 June 2013 on Channel 4. The show is a spin-off from the popular Coach Trip, which also stars tour guide Brendan Sheerin.
The show sends four sets of eight strangers from the United Kingdom off to different countries around Europe and North America where they must compete in daily challenges in order to be upgraded to luxury or downgraded to no-star, super-cheap accommodation.[1][2]
Episodes one to five saw eight strangers from different parts of the UK travel to Barcelona where they will compete in daily challenges for the chance of being upgraded. On the last day, the worst four of the contestants are eliminated and the remaining four are split into two teams to go head-to-head. When a team has won the winners challenge, the eliminated contestants vote in secret for whom they want to win the £1,000 cash prize.[3] This week aired between 24 June to 28 June 2013.
