Richard Hammond sent me on the cheapest flight from the UK | Day 1

- We wanted to make the cheapest travel show ever, so we sent Lucy Brown to London Stansted airport, and she has absolutely zero idea where she will be going. It’ll be three countries in three days, simply being the cheapest flight out of each airport each time, and she’ll have to make a travel video in each location.

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone, really appreciate it ❤ Super excited for you all to see the next episodes 👀
You were fantastic!!! Well done, Lucy Brown ™ !
marry me :)
amazing lucy, hope you having a great time filming this.
Love your sarcasm! You're a good sport.
Look at you go ! ❤
Lucy's willingness to put herself through awkward situations for the sake of learning and entertainment is inspiring! ❤️
So willing to put herself through awkward situations... alongside a cameraman who went with her filming her from a distance. So brave.
@@ominous7271 What is wrong with you. Like, seriously.
Statistically, given the current numbers, there should have been at least 7 or 8 more trolls agreeing with you and thumbing up your post. Apparently even even other trolls can't believe how bad you are at this and want nothing to do with you.
@Felice_Enellen There's nothing wrong with me? I'm just pointing out that this video is flawed - we, the viewer, are led to believe she's travelling on her own, but there's obviously a cameraman with her, filming her. You've got loads of comments saying she's 'so brave!' when quite obviously this is all terribly choreographed and scripted.
Finally, after all these years of non-stop-showing-off-happy-faced travel bloggers here's a proper socially awkward person travelling at a cost less than that of a pint of beer expressing the exact opposite of smuggy happiness. Thank you, I've really enjoyed this.
You've not seen An Idiot Abroad I take it?
Where are you paying £13 for a pint?
When she had to interact with people and walked away saying “that was horrible.” I felt that
I loved watching Lucy prepping and rehearsing. I've never watched someone work on remembering a sequence of numbers to later drop into a monologue. It was also fun to see her getting random people to hold her camera. Very entertaining, looking forward to the next one.
This is as close to a true backpacker experience as you can get on screen. Most shows never really manage to get the true budget experience down, but here you see Lucy deliberately pick a coach to get to the town just to save a buck. What a legend!
Lucy channelling her inner-James May (The only person to reach the North Pole who didn't actually want to go there) and nevertheless producing compelling content at the same time. Respect Lucy, looking forward to more of the same!
Loving the mix of behind the scenes, actual travel show and the camera man stalking Lucy on vacation 😂
I like the idea of sending Lucy to various exotic locations in the style of Top Gear specials.
Oh, she hasn't done NEARLY enough complaining for a TG episode. ;)
..on a budget
Indeed next exotic place will be Brussel 🇧🇪😂
Yeah Italy very "exotic" indeed.
You must be american
@@_Neutral_ It's not like you're going to get air tickets to Vanuatu for the next day...
I think Lucy has a bright future as a television presenter! Well done!
About as exciting as a piece of white bread with nothing on it
@@ciggy_ careful -- that sounds like an idea for one of james may's delicious sandwich videos :P
TV is dying, so I hope she stays online lol
@@Formula1st it's all under the same umbrella these days. I'd call the Grand tour TV but that's online. Same for many other shows exclusively on streaming service.
@@Formula1st Tv is not dying at all, yes people are consuming content online but streaming and video is literally just TV, you are being shown episodic shows. TV as you are thinking ie: network television is still booming and in fact getting bigger and bigger. Theaters aren't dying, either - movie studios are making a massive push to once again get people in front of big screens because that is what they are made for - spectacle. Their entire metrics are based off ticket sales, not views. I work in industry and despite the current writers strike everything was booming and will be once again. We have actually gone back to how cable was - everyone has a streaming service now and if you combine a bunch of them you are paying more than what a decent cable package is, so welcome to full circle and nothing much has changed. I say this as someone who has worked in the business for 2 decades now.
I love the thought process of "Shouldn't wait in the road"
This is a brilliant idea and Lucy Brown ™ did so well!
I feel sorry to Lucy, having to experience 4 landings with RyanAir in 4 days (including the flight back home of course)
I've heard that RyanAir is quite the budget airline for a reason
Seriously?
I know it's all a laugh but RyanAir flights have actually had some of the best landings I've ever felt
Why? I fly with Ryanair every month. Their pilots are just as skilled as those of other European and US carriers. I've never experienced any issues with any of my countless flights with FR.
What's so bad about Ryanair? You pay cheap and you get cheap service, but you get where you need to be safely and on time.
Alternative name for this segment: "How cheap can it be?"
It was only 12 months ago Lucy struggled to speak to camera, now she's speaking to camera while a stranger is recording her trying to chat her up, and spinning on Bulls balls 😄 it's good to see her confidence is growing.
As a trainee journalist I can safely say that is insanely impressive. I spend my life video editing and trying remember what to say. And the fact you can do all that within a day, whilst gathering footage, talking to complete strangers, with no idea where you're going next... hats off to you. You must be knackered
i love lucy, her personally, her attitude, i could watch her travel the world, please give us more of her.
Hammond was spot on, she made me feel like I'd been there. Looking forward to what's next.
I’m impressed that lucy did the trip, tourist stuff, filmed it all and presented, then edited it in one day.
This is pure gold! Lucy was brilliant! I find lucy extremely funny maybe because i had a co-worker couple of years back that is/was 100% Lucy's clone. Cna't wait for the next one! GOOOO LUCY !!!!
I like the smiling, "Ciao" to the immediate segue to a sighing, "Ok, editing."
Lucy Brown’s pigeon diatribe was so awesome! Not what you typically see in a travel blog. Well done!
Incredible Lucy, really enjoyed the show and BTS. Waiting for the next episode. Best of luck
Can we get more of lucy, she's got my sense of humour so I enjoy her content
She really doesn't want that ahaha
More Lucy, less Mike 😂
@@nickolastiguan more lucy, more Mike and Hammond
Mate if someone doesn't luv Lucy they have no soul
I like the "off the cuff" feel of this idea. Lucy's "we'll see what happens when we get there" is brilliant. The final edit was fantastic! If I lived in Europe, I'd travel to a different country often if it only cost me less than $20 US. I can barely even travel to another state for that money and I can assure you my destinations would be far less interesting.
Next thing you know people will complain that her shows are "too scripted"
@@ArifRWinandar But this entire thing was scripted. She went with a cameraman and probably knew in advance where she was going.
I knew the camera work and editing would be spot on. After all this is Lucy's trademark. What impressed me was thinking on the fly and going to strangers for help filming. I know you lived in France for a period of time Lucy so maybe Europe is a bit more comfortable than somewhere else. I guess we'll see but I love content by Lucy.
Love Richard cracking up over Lucy’s ‘….in the world’ .
3:16 Lucy needed Richard's rideable suitcase in that airport 😂
Absolutely great! Many more of these please, Lucy’s great! .. the review of the piece at the end is brilliant 😂
Excellent to see. Lucy you did amazing considering the challenge.. the words cruel and unusual punishment came to mind seeing how pleased Richard and Mike were with their idea. I share your love for pigeons, be glad they didn't send you to Venice.
Alternate title for this segment could be Lucy Brown: Our Girl in the World as sort of a play on the James May our man in Italy
Make it "Our Girl... *pause*... in the World" and you're definitely onto something.
@@StockportJambo absolutely!
You're a natural Lucy! Well done!
Its about time Lucy got a starring role in one of these videos.
This could also be a self-help guide to vlogging. Great job Lucy!
loving this! like the long way round but cheaper!
That pigeon fiasco was hilarious! 😂 not one to back out of a challenge. Love it 💪🏾
Man, you are a natural! Congratulations! Hammond hit it right on the nail, I felt like I was there in Milan!!!
Lucy is a vibe in all of us!! absolutely love this!!! want to see much much more please with Lucy hosting it!!
This was great! More Lucy Brown content please!
Richard looking like a mad scientist makes this so much better. "Yees, you're gonna do it!!"
The Hamster in his "buziness" suit! 😄
I always wondered what Hammond would do with the money saved by not stopping the train for May in India. It’s a hard choice between £13 for saving your mate or sending a colleague to Italy alone 😅
I'd be so scared doing this! Well done Lucy! looking forward to the next! :D
Lucy Brown is a strong minded, Take no BS from anyone, Natural presenter IMO, I love her style! She has a great future ahead of her 👍
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Lucy is getting so much more comfortable in front of the camera. I was locked to the screen on this video. Love her!! Great stuff guys!
Lucy is an absolute champ! Well done!
I'm Italian and I live at 1h and a half from Milan. I've been to all those places and It was really fun to hear Lucy trying to pronounce Italian words! BTW panzerotti is plural for panzerotto. I wish I was there to get a selfie, I would have been the only one to recognize you 😂
By the way, the statue in the center of the main square was vandalized with paint by a climate activist
Yay! Lucy! This was great! More, please! 👍👍👍
This is outstanding - *HUGE* respect to Lucy for this. It looks brilliant. Scary, but brilliant.
And the result is a very entertaining piece of film.
This is outstanding! One of the best yet. Can't wait to see the next part. Well done Lucy
Wonderful stuff! Looking forward to the next episode.
This was the best thing ever! Lucy you totally killed it!
This is absolutely wholesome and hilarious
Is this MIke and dare I say Richard, having Lucy expand her horizons under a guise of a travel show? If so, I am all for it, she is wonderful and there maybe times where she might enjoy things, fingers crossed :D
Absolutely brilliant. Well done
Oh, I love the pigeon! 😂😂 Hammond!!!
This is AWESOME!!! I could actually enjoy travelling like this, thanks for the idea.
LB from eating, cooking, watching to traveling, I love Lucy.
Lucy, you are a pro! It was amazing to watch you work under less than ideal circumstances! You are also a good sport! Well done!
Yes, Yes, Yes! Great Concept. Totally enjoyed this video. Lucy is PERFECT for the assignment. 4.5K views is less than 30 minutes is fantastic reflection of "Lucy (Dora) the Explorer"
Awesome video, I look forward to the next one! Had to watch the video twice because the first time I was so focused on figuring out what backpack Lucy had. I’ve been looking for a new travel backpack and if anyone is curious it’s the Stubble & Co Roll Top backpack 👍🏼
Best show yet! Thank you. But that’s serious cruelty starting at an airport an hour away at 6am 😮
I first thought this is the worst idea ever but no, this was very entertaining to watch and something new! Lucy is perfect for the job, strangely enough, never knew she could pull it off like a pro 👍👍👍👍
Brilliant idea and a round of applause for Lucy.
Looking forward to next instalment. 🍿
Alternative title: Take a shot every time Lucy says Milan
You’d get drunk far too quickly 😂
If you had sent Clarkson on the trip he probably would have shown bathroom's and food places... lol. May would have shown museums, unique yet boring to most places, and given a lot of comparison commentaries. Hehe. Well done Lucy.
This. Was. Brilliant! Lucy absolutely crushed it! Can't wait for the next installment.
Great job Lucy!!
You did more than Hammond would have done if he was there, you ate the local food!
Also totally agree with the Pigeons!
Great work, Lucy! Though one criticism, I'm not even Italian, and even I'm not brave enough to order a cappuccino when it's not in the morning, if I'm correct Italians consider that a morning only coffee. I remember doing it once in Florence, and I got a strange look by the waiter.
I gotta say, Lucy is very underrated. She should be doing more presenting and traveling. Albeit, not so tight a budget. 😉
Despite you guys sending her out on a budget, she hit it out of the park! So impressed! 👏🏻
Look forward to the next vid! 👍🏻🙂
Wonderful. Simply wonderful 🎉 😂✌🏻
Man.... she really nailed that! lol What a great idea and well done, Lucy!!!
Lucy is an amazing presenter and brings a fresh new vibe to travel videos.
This was absolutely brilliant, great idea for the show and Lucy is the perfect presenter! Can’t wait for the next episode!
I think Lucy should be sent to do a MOST expensive assignment. Just for balance. Well done Lucy!
That was the best thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks Lucy.
Should of taken James and got lost for old times sake
So trueee
She did all that in a day? Wowza.
Great idea, & Lucy was brilliant. Plus finally someone calls out pigeons for what they are 😊
Proud of Lucy brave of her filming and editing on the go, traveling on Ryan Air must have quite the experience, lol.
Yay, Lucy is back! She is perfect for this. Its a great idea for a travel show and a brilliant idea for a solo trip.
Need more Lucy !
this was awesome! please do more of these, Lucy rocks!!
This is brilliant! Cant wait fir more! I hope there will be much more of these.
Thought this was going to be very nonchalant and rushed but it turned out to be actually brilliant, love how Lucy adapted very well in a pretty much 'off you go' situation with quick yet accurate researches, snappy editing and careful locations spotting. Excited to see more!
edit: Out of curiousity, How much was the coach ticket? I feel it's relevant.
Thanks Anthony! The coach ticket was about 4€
She made it through Milano w/o being burgled on the metro, kudos to her, cheers from ITA🇮🇹 ps Galleria Vittorio Emanuele Secondo, you were closer to say it correctly sans google help❤❤
Lucy, you are so awesome for putting up with all these shenanigans.
Lucy is rapidly becoming the star here; and well deserved.
Our Girl in Milan.
It's cheaper to go to another country than it is to go to London on public trainsport.
This is brilliant! I loved it and look forward to more. Great idea, guys. And, Lucy, you rule! Amazing job, under pressure. ❤
Well done Lucy, Milan was awesome and your dry sense of humour made this really fun and enjoyable to watch. Keep going, we loved it!!
Lucy definitely needs her own travel show she seems like a natural
There is way too little of Lucy on here. This is a great video and shows how hard she works to get the job done.
This is brilliant. Love the format and it’s so great to see Lucy in front of the camera again. Keep ‘‘em coming guys.
"I really enjoyed exploring the city, and I definitely recommend a visit" That was a boldfaced lie. lol
🤣
Ofc it’s Ryanair lol👍
Even as an American, it made me laugh
The Spirit of Europe 😂
Lucy Brown is the greatest of Drive Tribe! Well done!
Well done. From the concept, to the final product, this was a very entertaining video. I'm looking forward to the next one.
This is one of the best things I’ve watched in a decade. Please don’t stop!
Excellent work, watched the whole thing and very enjoyable!
