Four celebrity duos put their driving skills to test and their relationships to the test as they go from Thailand to Saigon in a fleet of classic cars. They seemed to be more old and less classic to me.

Ex Top Gear presenter Noel Edmonds might have an advantage, he and his wife Liz drive a classic MGB GT. Musician and actor Martin Kemp ex-pop star wife Shirlie Kemp drive a 1972 Mini. Restaurateur and food critic Andi Oliver and her TV presenter daughter Miquita Oliver have a 1959 Morris Minor. Pop stars and and friends Tinchy Stryder and Jordan Stephens drive a Hillman Imp.

As they start off from Chiang Mai with just a basic map. Tinchy and Jordan seemed to have got lost, Andi is at a disadvantage as she has no one to share driving duties with. Her daughter cannot drive.

It only leaves the Edmonds and the Kemps in a proper battle. Just to show how ancient these cars are, Martin Kemp's car rolls over and he ends up being treated in hospital.

It was a fun first part. Although some of them are seasoned personalities, they seemed to be less involved in playing up for the camera as they realise that the driving bit is quiet a challenge.
