Celebrities including actor Pia Miranda and comedian Dilruk Jayasinha drive from the Nullarbor to Sydney in The Big Trip.
I always feel a little bit sorry for competitors on celebrity reality shows who have to compete to win prizes for charity. It seems so cruel that just because they’re famous, they don’t get to take home the cash themselves – after all, if they weren’t in need of it, they wouldn’t be on the show in the first place. It’s true they’re all getting paid anyway, but that doesn’t feel quite the same as watching a show where participants genuinely could have their lives changed by victory.

Thornton is an amiable enough host, laconic and amusing, though it’s hard to shake the feeling that he’d have been better deployed as a contestant. Both host and contestants have essentially the same task, though: to maintain that tricky balance between “this is all just mates mucking around” and “this is a serious competition with actual stakes”.
