After spending the night with Steve, Yolanda leaves to catch the ferry back from Hydra with Emma. Over breakfast, Rob half-jokingly tries to persuade Steve that she could be "the one" for him. At lunch, Steve and Rob discuss the pros and cons of the
government of ancient Sparta, which was restricted to the over-60s, and the young waitress causes them to reflect upon middle age.

Review: The Trip The Greece - Sky One

I'm going to do a thing that I don't think I've ever seen a critic do before. I'm going to say that my review was wrong. When I reviewed the first episode of the latest series of The Trip, set in Turkey and Greece, I wrote how I was disappointed by it. Having watched the first episode I felt that the tone had changed. There had always been a running theme about the rivalry between Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon but here I thought there was too much needle and nastiness. The joke wasn't all that funny any more. But that review was only based on the opening episode.
