Right answers mean the direct route, wrong answers lead to a three mile diversion. During the drive each team faces a &#8220;pit stop&#8221;, 10 quickfire questions, each one knocking a mile off the total (the winners, you see, are determined on mileage rather than time. Effectively the game boils down to -3pts for a wrong answer on the road, +1pt for each Pit Stop question answered correctly. Prize is \u00a3500.). Meanwhile Grado makes brief visits to local places. All in all it&#8217;s pleasant but not very compelling, like a combination of <strong>The Getaway Car<\/strong> and <strong>Antiques Road Trip<\/strong>, minus both The Stig and antiques. I had no idea who Grado was, until Wrestling Twitter went OMG when I mentioned it, presumably he&#8217;s Scotland&#8217;s answer to The Rock.

Who can deal with having their hair shaved off?) and questions based on what happened the previous night (can you remember the name of the girl you snogged, that sort of thing). Top prize \u00a31,000 (between six). Hosted by Matt Richardson (the one who isn&#8217;t Matt Edmondson) and Pointless Friend Ken Cheung, who doesn&#8217;t really add anything.
