More comics to drive the World’s Most Dangerous Roads
Johnny Vegas, Lucy Beaumont, Babatunde Aléshé and Kae Kurd
The next comedians taking part in the World’s Most Dangerous Roads have been revealed.
Johnny Vegas was paired with Lucy Beaumont for a drive through Montenegro, while Babatunde Aléshé and Kae Kurd travelled to Zambia, for two new episodes that will air on U&Dave in November.
Vegas said: ‘I can't believe I've such fond memories of being so bloody terrified at times. I can only put it down to Lucy Beaumont's inexhaustible quirky humour under pressure and Montenegro's stunning variation of landscapes. Both tears of fear and laughter made it an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.'
Beaumont added: ‘I still can’t believe I made in one piece; I must admit I didn’t want to be on a dangerous road with Johnny driving, but I didn’t want to leave either. What started out as a white-knuckle ride turned out to be a spiritual experience which cemented that me and Jonny will be lifelong friends.’
The pair have previously worked together on the Dave series Meet The Richardsons.
Meanwhile, Aléshé said of his episode: ‘I absolutely loved taking part in World’s Most Dangerous Roads. As someone of African heritage, this journey meant so much to me, especially to experience it with my good friend Kae."
And Kurd called filming ‘one of the best experiences of my life. Challenging, fun and eye opening, and with a great companion too’.
The sixth series of World’s Most Dangerous Roads was announced in June, comprising six episodes.
It has now been announced that one of them will be a compilation narrated by Rhod Gilbert, who previously visited Nepal and Italy for a pair of episodes.
The other three adventures will air next year.
