There is a new series on Channel 5 where Jane McDonald is visiting the Canary Islands. A bit more ‘normal’ than the more adventurous travelogues you get, but without the ‘Jane was staying half board at Hotel such a such which for 7 nights would cost…’that you would get on Wish you were here.
Talking of product placement, In every scene where Jane was in the hotel lobby explaining what she was going to try that day, there just happened to be a Jet2 rep desk in the background. At the start there was even a scene where the Jet2 check in staff at the Jet2 check in desk at Manchester Airport explained how they were offsetting their carbon footprint. Clearly a bit of product placement.
