Freddie Flintoff, Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness embark on an expedition that takes them across the stark landscapes of Iceland. To tackle the distance they rely on a collection of old British cars, each of which proves temperamental and adds an extra layer of challenge to the trip.

The show brings together three well‑known British personalities – Freddie Flintoff, Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness – for a road‑trip style programme. In this series the trio embarks on a journey that takes them across the varied terrain of Iceland. Their adventure is framed around the use of a fleet of classic British cars, each of which shows a mind of its own. The core of each episode follows Flintoff, Harris and McGuinness as they set out on the Icelandic expedition, relying on these ageing machines to get from point A to B. The cars, being old and temperamental, often demand extra attention, turning routine travel into a series of unpredictable moments. As the presenters navigate the island’s remote stretches, the interplay between the drivers and their reluctant vehicles drives the narrative forward. Throughout the series, the combination of the three hosts’ distinct personalities and the quirks of the British automobiles creates a distinctive dynamic. The programme leans on the challenges presented by the cars’ unreliability, using them as a catalyst for the journey’s unfolding events. In this way, the expedition across Iceland is shaped as much by the road as by the vehicles themselves. In each instalment, viewers watch the trio grapple with the unpredictable nature of their vintage rides while traversing Iceland’s expansive landscape, making the series a straightforward road‑trip adventure.
