Joe Lycett fears Travel Man will be scrapped

Joe Lycett is worried his ‘Travel Man’ show will be cancelled.

The 35-year-old comedian - who has appeared on several panel shows such as '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown’ - helmed the Channel 4 travel programme after Richard Ayoade left in 2019, and has ventured to a plethora of global landmarks with the likes of Aisling Bea, Mo Gillian and Sarah Millican but is not sure that the series will be back.

During an interview on ‘The Adam Buxton Podcast’ in which the host asked if the programme was canned, Joe said: "It depends who you speak to.

“Channel 4 put a thing out a few months ago saying that they weren't commissioning anything, really, until next year [2024] because of some unique circumstances that have created a fiscal issue.

"Basically, there's a lot of shows where episodes have been filmed, they've been done.

"There's episodes that I've filmed a year ago that still haven't been put out.

“So, hopefully, it will go out early next year!”

Adam, who had filmed an episode for the show with Joe in March, emphasised that even if the programme was cancelled, he was glad he got to visit Prague with the comedian.

He said: “That was a fun time man. Whether it goes out or not, I loved that time in Prague.”

Joe agreed and admitted that he was “thrilled” Adam was keen to travel with him.

He said: “I loved doing that show and you’re a fabulous guest.

“I was so thrilled that you'd said yes to it because to, to me, I feel like you are a, a coup of a booking because you are clearly very selective over what you do.

“Or someone's selective about what you do. But I was delighted and we had a brilliant time.”
