Dara and Ed's Road to Mandalay - Episode Guide

In this brand new three part travelogue, comedians Dara Ó Briain and Ed Byrne take to the road to explore South East Asia, one of the most vibrant places on the planet. Dara and Ed begin their journey in Malaysia, a vibrant multicultural nation thanks to its history as a staging post on the east--west trading routes.

In Thailand, Dara and Ed fly into Phuket and experience an island that is sinking under the weight of booming tourism. They meet up with a local environmentalist campaigning to protect Phuket's wildlife and help out at a turtle conservation centre, returning two turtles to the sea. Moving on to the mainland, Dara and Ed travel to the capital city of Bangkok, which recently became the most visited city in the world.

Dara and Ed arrive in Yangon in Myanmar at a time of great political change. After 50 years of brutal military rule, Myanmar recently held the first open elections heralding a new era of democracy. They visit Aung San Suu Kyi's house and see first-hand how young people are finally able to freely express their support for her with tattoos and before leaving Yangon, take part in the Buddhist Festival of Light at the Shwedagon Pagoda. Final.
