ZERO STARS: COMEDIANS ROISIN CONATY AND SARA PASCOE TO FRONT NEW DISCOVERY TRAVEL SERIES

Comedians Roisin Conaty and Sara Pascoe are to front a new Discovery travel series on the new rebranded TLC channel. With its new look, TLC will be the destination for big laughs, real emotions and true escapism through its broad entertainment offer featuring both scripted and unscripted content.

From cars to epically awful travel reviews, new series Zero Stars will see comedians and BFFs Roisin Conaty and Sara Pascoe journey across the globe - staying, eating and experiencing places with only the funniest and worst reviews in search of a truly unique experience they wouldn’t get from a five-star beach resort.

This 8x60 series produced by CPL Productions (original format by Liquidminds and distributed by Primitives) will road test the comic pairings mantra that “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” and five-star hotels, restaurants and entertainment are for cowards. Could we all be missing out on the adventure of a lifetime just because of a bad review?

TLC will also be home to the highly anticipated return of Mock the Week, the UK’s much-loved topical, satirical panel show. Back from Sunday 1 February, with Dara Ó Briain at the helm, Mock the Week fans can enjoy even more of what they love with new one-hour episodes and the nation’s favourite comedians.

Produced by Angst, the 9x60 series will stay true to the original format, with returning rounds including ‘If this is the answer, what is the question?’, ‘Wheel of News’, ‘Picture of the Week’, and ‘Scenes we’d like to see’, as well as introducing some exciting new rounds within the extended format.   

More details will be announced in due course.
