| Summary |
Dara & Ed's Pan-American Road Trip sees friends and fellow comedians Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne embarking on an epic journey, on what has been described as one of the greatest roads in the world, the Pan American Highway. Dara and Ed will be retracing the steps of three famous American adventurers from the 1940s who set out on a rugged expedition which paved the way to galvanising support for the building of the road. Within a few years of their mission, the creation of the highway began to transform the Americas, kickstarting businesses and industry along its route.Dara and Ed have a shared love of America from their time spent doing the comedy circuit there and, inspired by the archive footage filmed by Sullivan Richardson, will now embark on their own mammoth trip that will take them from the USA to Panama. Armed with a slightly more modern version of the Plymouth saloon car used by the original expedition, Dara and Ed will take the challenge set by the 1940s adventures and blaze a new trail through some of the most dynamic countries of Central America, capturing all the danger and excitement the route has in store.
