No season overview available.
Auckland
Presenter Asha Gill meets the elf-like Misery, Auckland’s most distinctive graffiti artist whose spooky cartoon faces have invaded both the walls and the galleries of New Zealand’s biggest city. Together they spray a campervan - providing Asha with a psychedelic vehicle for her journey and Misery with a unique centre piece for her Exhibition.
Melbourne
Presenter Asha Gill hooks up with Andy Mac, the figurehead of Melbourne’s prolific street art movement which has taken art out of the galleries and put it on city walls. Andy celebrates the opening of his latest street exhibition with a block party in one of Melbourne’s signature alleyways and enlists Asha’s help stencilling the club banner of one of Melbourne’s biggest Australian Rules Football clubs.
Berlin
Presenter Toby Amies hooks up with puppeteer Christian Bahrmann, explores his ‘hood and helps put on a puppet show for Berlin kids. Christian introduces Toby to Natural Born Golfer Thorsten Schilling, who’s taken the distinctly unsexy game of golf and reinvented as an extreme urban sport. Thorsten and Toby play the ultimate game of golf through Berlin’s urban landscape.
Hong Kong
Presenter Toby Amies meets charismatic Hong Kong fashion tracker Davena Mok, who kits him out with the latest gadgets and accessories he needs to thrive in this pulsating town. Social columnist and feng shui expert Nury Vittachi gives Toby an insight into three Hong Kong passions – money, horse racing and feng shui – and invites Toby to a fancy dress cocktail party thrown by the wealthy Harilela clan.
London
Presenter Asha Gill does her bit to save London from submerging six feet underwater, counts the city’s bat population and peeks inside the tomb of Kama Sutra guru Sir Richard Burton with nutty naturalist Bridget Nicholls.
Cape Town
Presenter Asha Gill hooks up with Chris Ntombemhlophe, an African shaman with a direct line to the ancestors. Chris takes Asha trance dancing in the city’s biggest black township and introduces Asha to outspoken diva Odidi Mfenyana, who’s reclaiming the Afro for Africans.
Mexico City
Presenter Toby Amies hooks up with alternative arts guru Pancho Lopez, who exercises his democratic right to eat wherever he damn well pleases by staging elaborate dinners in public places – including a traffic island smack in the middle of a busy Mexico City thoroughfare.
San Francisco
Presenter Toby Amies hooks up with genial prankster Marc Horowitz and his partner-in-crime Jon Brumit for a heart-stopping race down San Francisco’s steepest and twistiest street – on a child’s plastic tricycle. Marc and Jon conduct Toby in a 60-second symphony, before making him coffee in the park with the help of the world’s longest extension cord.
