Coach Trip is a British reality television game show that involves ordinary couples, with a pre-existing relationship, board a coach and travel to destinations around Europe. Those who board the coach must also try to avoid periodic eliminations. The show was renewed for a ninth series following a lengthy hiatus; the eighth series aired back in 2012 before the London 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.[1][2]
It began on 27 January 2014, airing weekdays at 17:30 on Channel 4 from episodes 1 to 15,[3] however was moved to an earlier timeslot of 17:00 from episodes 16 to 29 due to Superstar Dogs: Countdown to Crufts. Due to the 2014 Winter Paralympics opening ceremony on Channel 4, episode 30 was instead aired on More4 at 12:10 on 8 March 2014. The ninth series saw Brendan Sheerin return as tour guide, as in all previous editions and Paul Donald continue as coach driver, with MT09 MTT the registration of the coach once again. Filming took place between September and October 2013 (after Take on the Twisters on ITV ended). The ninth series includes visits to Sardinia, being the first series to do so.
