No Frontiers

Arizona

First, 'No Frontiers' veteran presenter John Kelly leaps into a convertible and heads down Route 66 in Arizona. Once known as the country's 'Main Street', for its importance in US history, John explores Oddity USA and even meets the Angel of Route 66. Then, he stands in the sublime scenery of Monument Valley, and witnesses the ancient, native Navajo way of life.

India

Nursing student Niamh Twanley is in India, now at the end of her living experience. Initially, she was intimidated by the bustle of New Delhi life. But now, in her final week there, she's acting like a native, and can barter with the best. She pays a visit to the Taj Mahal, goes tea tasting, and visits her personal tailor. Then she bids farewell to her doting pupils and 'Indian Mammy', and leaves what was much more than just a holiday.

Kephalonia

Since Nicholas Cage and Penelope Cruz made a film about the famous novel, Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres, the isle of Kephalonia, the setting of this story, has grown in popularity. Joe and Anne Clancy travel to this beautiful location to find out what type of experience it will give someone looking at it as a package holiday destination.
