Noel Fielding & Richard Ayoade's Iconic Travel Man Episode, in Full | Travel Man

mini brakes are a swirling nebula of

nonsense how can anyone go somewhere new

and be expected to enjoy themselves

without a decade to decompress with no

idea where to go how to eat or what to

do it's impossible to stop the whole

thing turning into a Monumental fudge up

but do not tether yourself to a rack and

Rend yourself asunder with no mandate

whatsoever I a weak man containing some

of the key elements of rich and are you

are the have come to your Aid

accompanied by a whole quiver of

well-known faces I'm going to take you

hurtling through a foolproof Maxi mini

break this is travel without Mercy

tonight 48 hours in Copenhagen the most

visited destination in Scandinavia

the style saturated Danish Capital has

been voted Europe's Most Green City and

as the home of Nordic Noir and to be the

Cagney to my Lacey is amateur wrestler

and comedian Noel Fielding a friend of

mine got touched up on a ghost train

once together we will aggressively

examine National cuisine

descend into the underworld this is

where they used to shower in the 80s and

cop a cup of cultural enrichment where

the smart as we take you on a weekend

away based on the summary of events

you've just heard we're here but should

we have come

if time is your ally a bod can get the

train to Copenhagen via Brussels thus

careering through a couple of capitals

or traveling by Karen Ferry can give a

cat many multiples of perambulatory

permutations

but we don't have time to dawdle or

conserve the world's dwindling fuel

supplies so we're going by plane

they call me the gothic Elvis the

Suspicious Minds I look a bit like Elvis

unfortunately it's the bit just before

he died and he was loaded up with

burgers and bad dreams yeah obviously

you didn't get my memo I wanted to go to

Hawaii why are we going to Copenhagen

well I'll tell you why

Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark

with a population of just under two mil

Copenhagen is the largest city in

Scandinavia and according to the

massively checked dudes at Lonely Planet

the coolest we have Copenhagen to thank

the Hands Christian Anderson Sandy tops

League Lego the pedal bin and my old

adversary the pH scale and if that

wasn't enough to make you sit to the

middle the city topped the U.N charts

for the happiest place on earth

a weekend in the Danish Capital will

cost around 257 pounds a figure we may

well exceed through arrogance after a

frankly unthulamable airport transfer we

rock up at our digs

This Is The Life welcome to Hotel

Alexandra and welcome to Copenhagen

located in central Copenhagen the hotel

Alexandra is dense with Danish design

classics

the rims also act as a short-term

storage solution for the TV series Mad

Men

nice pretty happy with this the entire

Affair is a mid-century Triumph

[Music]

what are you doing why aren't you

carrying amongst the mid-century Danish

modernism what did I tell you about

towering amongst mid-century movies

like Murphy and Nolte before us this is

going to be a holiday not one of your

weird anally retentive fright fests

copenhagen's committed Cadre of cyclers

clock up 1.3 million kilometers a day so

taken are we with this statistic we've

decided to get our spoke game tight and

join one of the city's most popular

tours the bikes are very simple

our guide is Mike whose motto is if I'm

going too fast then you're on the wrong

tour which doesn't sound like it's going

to catch on as a motto

kickstand you pulled down to inherited

by left by Falls over every time bike

goes down trouble three gears on the

bikes look here one two three little

handle here if your paddle push and

change ski at the same time you screw up

the gear system we have a lot of trouble

and again right same thing

if they curve kiss the front wheel you

know what happens trouble

folks we're leaving come on come on you

need to keep up with Mike the boat my

head's not waiting

[Music]

where's my the bike on it's gone he

doesn't wait Mike waits for no man I

tell you what Mike doesn't like

Trump Rubble

we can only hope against hope to find

Mike before he tears past Copenhagen

University the Danish design Museum the

Secret Service and the Little Mermaid

where the is Mike Wow Let's make

the bike

like the bike has gone I'm getting this

feeling he does not want us on his tour

after desperately Wheeling past some of

copenhagen's leading sights oh he's over

there

we catch up with Mike at the medieval

Copenhagen University one of the oldest

in northern Europe

this is beautiful

back in all times here in Denmark me

Danish Viking you from somewhere else in

the world I would kill all the men rape

the women steal all your belongings and

burn down anything that was left over

surely I'd mentioned that on TripAdvisor

come on folks he hates us

where's Mike Mike has left us for dead

once more sadly Mike the bike like his

Viking ancestors before him is on an

Unstoppable Rampage of forward momentum

leaving us languishing in his wake

furious at our betrayal we abandoned the

tour and Power on to its last stop on

our Todd why because we simply could not

have lived with ourselves had we not

seen what must be described as a statue

of Hans Christian Anderson's The Little

Mermaid this is the most visited

attraction in Denmark she's quite

beautiful I'm not saying I get off but

she's quite attractive it's quite a

bleak backdrop yeah it's a bit like the

end of Get Carter yeah

I wonder what might the bike would have

to say

in so need of chow to help fuel our

Epoch defining Quest it's time for smell

blood

who would dare call themselves a person

if they went to Copenhagen without

trying a traditional Danish open

sandwich these Mur birds at the melon

farming bomb

I'm taking Noel to almonds Delhi which

is rated by tire manufacturers Michela

as the top place to try them get

involved yeah

and smurfer we're gonna sit side by side

yeah that's how you always sit in a cafe

isn't it so you can check the exits I've

pre-ordered some stuff so that we don't

have to have two interactions some

fascists decided that smear blood has to

be eaten left to right and washed down

with a glass of snaps

very pleasingly put together I might

just varnish it and wear it like a

pirate's hat would you like to know what

you're having I would like that

so for you you have the beetroot hearing

next one is the pork yes with pear okay

and the next one is the rum the rump it

looks beautiful thank you very much

gosh wow Subway could certainly learn

something presentation yeah

oh wow

wow that's pretty good he started in the

middle oh you're left to right like you

read oh yeah oh I'm worth set from snap

really that's I've got nothing to lose

you've got a lot to lose

okay oh

it's like Castor GTX

I'm just gonna smell it

just

I've seen you drunk once oh it was

unbelievable

what happened

you did a quite a lot of impressions of

awesome Wells did I yeah that's my

that's what I my go-to

I must have had a unit

you were out of control I don't know

right now

this must be an English thing it's a hot

liquid I feel like it would ease this

down yes because everything's quite cold

and that's it might it's not a complaint

but I'm not used to eating Foods quite a

bit like a complaint

that sounded like a complaint

silence that I just heard descend upon

the kitchen no but I have two of their

staff put their heads into their very

cold oven

they've taken it pretty hard

okay as powerful as this is I'm full I'm

Gonna Leave This amount because that

shows I had restraints I don't want to

touch this one because it's too

beautiful color-wise

and it's raw meat

our gut's full of Smurf blood it's time

to bust Copenhagen Prides itself on

artistic Innovation so we're heading to

one of its many contemporary galleries

to coxham culture and in order to so do

we must make like B combo the jam and go

underground

maybe Weller no I don't want to beat

Bruce Watson again I'm always brings

Foxon in our Jam role play

the systems functioned as copenhagen's

water reservoir until 1933 now an

exhibition space the current attraction

is an installation entitled H an

evocative tone poem comprising 28

Columns of illuminated water power

showering the cobbles

are these just communal showers yeah

this is where they used to shower in the

80s you'd get Ian rush in there Jan Moby

yeah Moby's Danish right yeah that's how

I wove it back into Denmark should we go

I think I've taken everything I can

fully artistically satisfied we press on

app Pace hungry for more incident next

on my list of absolute Essentials is the

fifth oldest theme park in the world

that's right the fear it is Tivoli

opened in 1843 4.4 million people

flocked to Tivoli Gardens each year

quite heavy on the sensors a lot of

business happening again it's like being

in a kaleidoscope

typically inspired Walt Disney's vision

of Disneyland as well as being home to

the world's third oldest roller coaster

a fact I find unbearably exciting

are you up for that no come on I don't

like it you sure it's a ridiculous thing

to be doing with your life men of our

age you might even have fun that's not

gonna happen you might well outside of

the Bookshop no

the Richer Bannon is the Park's most

popular ride because there's nothing

that makes you feel moralized than being

strapped to a 102 year old falling

object so bad is happening to us oh a

friend of mine got touched up on a ghost

train once so put me off theme parks for

a while oh I just this bit I don't need

oh wow oh no oh no

foreign

[Applause]

that was quite good oh again

again why what is it someone

specifically asked for their stomach to

feel free vomited

any place where a number of people are

screaming

or somewhere I try and avoid one more no

come on Inspector Gadget you enjoyed

that no I'm leaving quiz levels at

Defcon we decide to switch gears

gallopin has been played by

copenhageners for almost 50 years

here we go I was born ready for

Galloping

this is more our speed for gentlemen of

our age isn't it

Galloping let's get going let's get

going there we go

all day at the Galloping tables

are you in the lead

number seven win oh that my friends is

Galloping

get your galloping

thank you

you can token to Keith put on your gamut

and trophy board

that's some of the best Galloping I've

ever seen

I'm so pumped you were Galloping like he

was going out of style call me Dr

gallopin that's the highlight of the

entire trip

basking in the kind of high only

Galloping can provide day one in

Copenhagen draws to its triumphant

clothes coming up we get massively

Danish

we test our old factory aptitude I

always feel smell comes across very well

on television and see a hidden side of

Copenhagen police

[Music]

foreign

we are halfway through our guide to

extract the most from Copenhagen in just

48 hours

we've already doved through the city's

underbelly are these just communal

showers meandered towards a mermaid

quite beautiful and triumphed activity

I'm so pumped for Galloping day two

finds our vows aching for the brief

appeasement of breakfast and because

sitting down is for stiffs we need to

cop our Chow on the Move fortunately the

Danish have a solution so good they

named it after themselves

you could build a sort of pastry man out

of all this all right there's the eyes

mouth

I'm very very excited about what's

Happening Here

hundreds of thousands yeah there you go

Saint Peters the oldest Bakery in

Copenhagen has been serving up their

popular pastries since the 17th century

which is ages ago with 4 000 cinnamon

rolls shifted on a Wednesday alone we

feel honored to participate in the mass

consumption of baked goods

I'm so happy about this

I need a shot of insulin this is my

favorite breakfast this is all I do

sweets yeah I mean are you eight that's

the glucose snakes through our veins

um absolutely buzzing we continue our

desperate digestion of Danish culture

with our last 24 hours evaporating like

tears and hot winds we plan to cross the

city in the most time efficient and

green way possible anyone can use the

bikes you just need to register online

or on the bike's tablet

well look I've set up a login which I

very graciously I'm going to allow you

to use oh no I know it's the typing in

oh yeah it's absolutely exhausting oh

hang on hey now click

these are heavy they're really heavy

they've got power assist

because it's so hilly Denmark

[Music]

I can feel the power assist will it

assists me in other areas of my life

a high-tech

Town take towards a Monumental Depot of

Danish drinking this looks like a goblin

lives in here

there's no one in there it's still all

right

so what's happening we're going to the

Carlsberg Museum why I'll tell you why

it's a Carlsberg experience right and on

the strength of that pun I booked it

also it's quite Route One to sit in

Carlsberg Denmark let's go in

the Carlsberg Brewery museum is housed

in the original 1847 Brewery and boasts

the world's largest unopened bottle

collection as well as gastronomic beer

tasting and because we so desperately

want the beer tasting to go as well as

poss we decide to get our old factory

game tight at the smelling station toast

yeah that's good that smells like you're

having a stroke

malls I don't like that one I don't know

it was too strong it's like being

slapped by a tiny scented fist I always

feel smell comes across very well on

television Citrus oh

prunes

that smells like old money

so when it smells slightly metally you

know when you're a child you suck a

penny

newly knighted nasal ninjas we move on

to the tasting trembling with

anticipation but dramatically Anders UPS

the ante I'm going to put you to the

test see if you can identify some Aromas

in these beers no not really I didn't

realize it was going to get so

competitive so soon did you commit those

20 Aromas of memories well I knew some

of them anyway like banana I had smelt

banana before is that cheating yeah and

so it begins there you go you need a

good head on the beard you know okay I

do not know why because the head

releases the Aromas banana

does it C is too fast there's some very

young beer testers coming through here

yeah they do have activities for

children

okay not on my watch at least it'd be

fun though right okay

I'm finding it hard to think of a word

other than beer for what it tastes like

it tastes like beer as the Rapport

between Anders and I builds so does my

confidence and I feel ready to employ my

newly acquired expertise

very similar to the first one I'm

getting banana again

this last one smells like banana I'll

know this opens a rip off there's lemon

in that right let's let's open banana

number three

yeah I'm not sure about this

is that you but

I'm bananary for me I'd happily drink

all of these by this stage I'm I'm in

pieces this is the most alcohol I've

ever drunk

well and just thanks for this your

judgment is impaired but we have to

leave you we're on a very limited time

scale no problem at all thank you thank

you it was a real pleasure thanks a lot

cheers bye bye there's some very drunk

miners here

as Noel tries to Shepherd his

complementary alcohol past some

belligerent under fives we suddenly

yearn for simpler times and search for a

place where we could rebuild Society

from scratch

[Music]

established in 1971 the self-governed

hippie Haven of Christiana is a city

within the city of Copenhagen

famous for its open selling of reefer

despite it being illegal its 800

residents have chosen to live outside

traditional Society like the people of

Bedford but even though it's called

Freetown the man still seems to be

laying down a whole roll of rules

so these are the rules yeah have fun

okay of course you can relax and behave

Justice anywhere else making a rule

seems somewhat counter-intuitive but go

on our guide Kirsten a Christiana

veteran has been pretending to have fun

here for 35 years uh don't run it costs

Penny yeah because police is coming here

quite often yeah and they used to come

in to surprise of course the dealers in

the street so of course they get nervous

if somebody's running because I think it

will be the police on its way that's why

no Pharaoh can't come here and or photo

yes Banks is quite a short man he's

getting smaller

rules don't apply to Mavericks so we set

off to see some of cristiana's crazy

cribs

and is this a house that someone's built

themselves yes yes many self-built

houses

there's no packing in here it's a good

way to keep Jeremy Clarkson out of a

community yes a lot of people jogging

jogging a lot of people jogging oh yeah

oh yeah

sometime that you should slightly goes

against the no running rule

dream of the 90s is alive and Cristiano

I'm not convinced no if you were dropped

here now quite a strange place because

Copenhagen itself is quite neat and tidy

and clean and efficient very efficient

rigid maybe tight even not tight and

this is kind of opposite to that and

this is right in the center of it so

it's a bit too loosey-goosey yeah for me

[Laughter]

as our time in the Danish Capital draws

to a close we cannot leave without

seeing one of copenhagen's mightiest

slabs

the rundatan aka the round Tower houses

Europe's oldest working Observatory and

was built with a ramp that spirals all

the way to the top so the king could

ride his horse to the summit they're

powering up this I know yeah quite good

oh the floor is getting uneven now

Cubans give them a break this must have

been a nightmare to produce back in

1642. I didn't have to make the floor

our Jenga pieces

entry to the rundatan is two pounds 50

and up to the total amount of coin we've

dropped this weekend to 456 pounds 49.

have you found

Copenhagen I've really enjoyed the open

Sound which is yes it's a City without a

top deck of bread

what about Mike the bike didn't enjoy

that so much gonna stay in touch with

Mike the bike I saw him press you for an

email at the end I did give him a full

email yeah yeah the thing I've enjoyed

most

was Galloping Galloping I'm getting one

point in my house and I'm inviting you

around I I'm gonna move in

we'll always have Galloping we'll always

have Galloping I know let's let's get

the funk out of here

next week 48 hours in Moscow with Greg

Davies I like you I like it
