History
Around the world in 80 raves is a reality television show, the first "Clubusoap" The show was the brain child of Glenn Ward, who took the idea to his friend Joel Etoe and together they wrote a proposal and sent it to 5 production companies / channals including Brighter Pictures, Rapido Television, Channel 5. Following talks with Rapido and Channel 4 they found themselves 2 months later on the trip of a lifetime touring the States.

Production Company - Rapido Television
Synopsis: Last summer six young men and women from Leicester managed to blag the holiday of a lifetime.

Travelling around America for six weeks on an all expenses paid trip, they had had the foresight to contact Channel 4 beforehand and suggest their trip as an idea for a series; they seemed to think it was a good idea and accepted so off they went.

Three blokes: Joel, Glenn and Boppa and three girls: Bex, Chantal and Sheryl are determined to have the times of their lives. The aim was to cover over 20,000 miles on the trip, coast-to-coast taking in Miami, Atlanta, Detroit, New York, Indianapolis, Nevada, Las Vegas and San Francisco.

Fiction is never as unbelievable as real life, nor is it as salacious, dirty, disturbing or downright hilarious.
