NEW TRAVELOGUE

Sue Perkins’ Big American Road Trip Sunday, C4 HD, 9 pm

Taking to the open road and leaving the daily grind behind is a dream for many, but how tough is the reality of a new life on four wheels?

In C4’s fascinating two-part travelogue, comedian and presenter Sue Perkins finds out by getting behind the wheel of a motorhome – known as an RV in the US – and, later, a retro camper van, to drive through the breathtaking scenery of California and Colorado.

Along the way, she meets some of the one million Americans who have ditched the nine-to-five existence to become van dwellers.
