Feel better about the some of the nightmare driving you’ll have to do during the school holidays by tuning in to BBC Two for the new series of World’s Most Dangerous Roads, beginning on Sunday, July 8th at 9m.


The first show in this series will follow Ed and Andy Parsons as they drive across Siberia, enduring more than 2,000 km of treacherous roads, spartan accommodations, and questionable food on their way from Yakutz, the coldest city in the world, along the “Road of Bones” to Magadan.

And if that’s not enough of other people’s road misery for you, later programmes in the series include Sue Perkins and Liza Tarbuck on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and Hugh Dennis and David Baddiel in Ethiopia.
