Tune into the Rough Guide To... on Five

The Rough Guide To... series is back for a second, sensational fifteen-part series on Five. Scheduled for Mondays at 7.30pm, UK viewers can catch Five's intrepid presenters, Julia Bradbury and Toby Amies, as they strike out to all manner of far-flung exotic locations.


The first episode took on the tantalising topic of 'Tropical Islands', crash-landing in the Cayman Islands and Cuba. And if you can't wait for the next one, check out these clips from the last series... Frankly, it's the next best thing to being there yourself!
