Template:Coach Trip endgame

Coach Trip 5 was the fifth series of Coach Trip in the United Kingdom which was filmed from May until June 2010 (after the Iceland volcanic ash cloud shrunk) and aired from 30 August to 8 October 2010. The show's format changed slightly from previous series and with weekends included, from Day 2 of that the couple who received a yellow card the previous day would be immune from the following vote the next day. The series involves seven couples traveling on a one-month tour centering on Northern European countries for the first time, with visits to Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Tour guide Brendan Sheerin, coach driver Paul Donald and the MT09 MTT registration all returned for this series, which airs on Channel 4. Dave Vitty was the narrator for the first time and the airing time moved from 5:00pm to 5:30pm.

Broadcasts

Series 5 aired on Monday 30 August 2010 at 5:30pm. It was aired with one episode each weekday.

Notes

  • ^1 Martin & Margaret were removed with a red card on Day 14 as they canvassed for votes during the day due to being tired and annoyed with their fellow passengers.

No post-vote arrivals or timekeepers in series

The trip day-by-day

Arrival day and day 1 of the trip - Hull

It's all aboard as the tour bus embarks on another adventure, starting this time in the north of England with a spot of maypole dancing, before heading to Hull's spectacular aquarium.

Day 2 - Amsterdam

It's day two and the group arrive in Amsterdam. After touring the city's canals by pedalo they learn the exotic art of burlesque dancing. At the vote Brendan drops a bombshell when he unexpectedly changes the rules of the vote.

Day 3 - Rural (Netherlands)/North Germany part 1

The coach heads for "rural Holland" (actually not in Holland at all) on day three for a life drawing class in Vincent van Gogh's house. And the trippers' artistic 'talent' leaves Brendan crying with laughter.

Day 4 - North Germany part 2 (Bremen)

The tourists head to Bremen. But on arrival a dramatic emergency call is made after one passenger falls ill, resulting in an unexpected early departure from the trip. However, the numbers are soon bolstered by some lively new arrivals.

Day 5 - North Germany part 3 (Hamburg)

In Hamburg it's day five and some familiar faces rejoin the group. After a visit to a submarine, it's all out conflict between two couples at vote time.

Day 6 - Gothenburg

The tourists wake on the night ferry as it arrives in Gothenburg. Brendan whisks the party off to the city's famous fish market, where rotten fish is on the menu.

Day 7 - Jönköping

The coach arrives in Jonkoping, Sweden, where Brendan's plans for a synchronised swimming lesson are dashed as the pool is closed, so the icy local lake beckons instead...

Day 8 - Norrköping

Amanda loses her precious diamond ring. And, in some Swedish woods, the group has a lesson in mind over matter, but the fire-walking experience leaves some of the party cold.

Day 9 - Stockholm

As the tour rolls in to Stockholm, goth rockers - and ex-partners - Chris and Lauren join the travellers. But the day's sightseeing is forgotten in a shocking moment of real-life drama.

Day 10 - Nuuksio Park/rural (Finland)

After a night ferry crossing, the tour arrives at Nuuksio Park in rural Finland, where the tourists are eaten alive by mosquitoes as they attempt to master local folk dancing.

Day 11 - Helsinki

The coach arrives in the Finnish capital of Helsinki, where the tourists try a spot of ice hockey before having a hot and streamy session in a sauna.

Day 12 - Tallinn

In Tallinn, Estonia, Brendan plans a stag party, which begins with the coach being ambushed by Soviet soldiers. Later, the ladies get to grips with a butler in the buff.

Day 13 - Parnu

In Parnu, Estonia, Brendan casts his critical eye over some local glass-making. The afternoon is spent trying Estonia's national sport - with mixed results, including a trip to hospital.

Day 14 - Cēsis

Moving on to Sigulda in Latvia, the group get stuck into some medieval games, before meeting a cheeky new couple and taking to the skies at a skydiving centre.

Day 15 - Riga

The tourists round off the week in Riga, Latvia, where they are let loose on a bobsleigh track, before sampling some of the finest local caviar - which isn't to everyone's tastes.

Day 16 - Šiauliai

In Siauliai, Lithuania, the tourists pay a visit to the spectacular Hill of Crosses, one of the country's major Catholic pilgrimage sites. Later, they party with a local folk group.

Day 17 - Vilnius

In Vilnius, Lithuania, the group pay a harrowing visit to the KGB museum. And, despite Brendan's attempt to cheer everyone up in the afternoon, the day ends in turmoil, with a shock red card at an emotional vote.

Day 18 - Kaunas

Day 18, in Kaunas, Lithuania, brings more new arrivals, a disastrous traditional cookery lesson and a spectacularly unsuccessful raft-building session.

Day 19 - Curonian Spit

Yet more new arrivals climb on board at Curonian Spit in Lithuania.

It's not long before everyone's getting stuck into the locals' traditional work: gutting and smoking fish - which causes plenty of commotion among the tourists.

The afternoon is due to be spent blow-carting - except there's no wind - and, at the vote, there's all-out war between two couples.

Day 20 - Klaipėda

The Lithuanian love-in continues in Klaipeda, as the group meet dolphins and a huge sea lion at the Sea Museum.

Later, they scour the beach for Baltic amber.

Day 21 - Malmo

The tourists arrive in Sweden and drive to Malmo, where they receive a rap lesson from a local pop star.

Day 22 - Copenhagen

In Copenhagen, Denmark, the tourists try to see the city by kayak, but Brendan falls out of his vessel, and the major city waterways prove too much for these plucky Brits.

Day 23 - Odense

In Odense, Denmark, after 23 days on the road Amanda and Nikki's prayers are answered in the form of hunks, Geoff and Jack. During a visit to the Hans Christian Andersen museum, Amanda and Jack flirt heavily.

Day 24 - Aarhus

Glamorous girls Kayley and Helena join the coach in Arhus, Denmark, and Amanda and Nikki are instantly suspicious of the new arrivals.

Day 25 - Aalborg/Bacon

In Alborg, Denmark the rivalry escalates between new girls Kayleigh and Helena, and Amanda and Nikki. Later they visit a pig farm, where clearing the dirty pig sties prove too much for the tourists.

Day 26 - rural (Norway)

The tour party arrives off the ferry in Norway, where the group learn handball and tackle a zip wire ride across a river.

Day 27 - Oslo

The coach trundles into Oslo and Brendan takes the tourists for a spot of culture at the Munch museum.

Day 28 - Bergen

After a bad night's sleep on the night train, the tourists arrive in Bergen, before boarding a boat to tour the stunning fjords, and then going skiing, with predictable results.

Day 29 - Voss

In Voss, Norway, on the last full day of the current trip, the party goes white water rafting, and abseil down sheer cliffs before voting for their favourite couple.

Day 30 - The last day

It's the journey home at the end of the current series, and Brendan reminisces about the best and worst of the last 30 days on the road.
