Dave Gorman sets off on a journey to see if it's still possible to live in America without giving any money to 'The Man'. He's travelling coast to coast and he's not staying in any chain hotels eating in any chain restaurants or filling up at any chain gas stations. No on this journey only independent Mom and Pop businesses will do. Of course travelling unchained in a chained world is tricky. When you're tired you can't just stop at a Starbucks and when the tank is running empty you can't just stop at the next gas station. So staying true to the task was always going to be a struggle. But the people facing the real struggle are the people working to keep these businesses alive.
If someone called you a 'Googlewhack' what would you do? You might reasonably ask them what it meant but you wouldn't probably end up playing table tennis with a 9 year old boy in a Boston basement. You probably wouldn't wind up in Los Angeles with three snakes on your head either. It is highly unlikely that you'd end up in a car with a gun toting dot-com millionaire en-route to Mexico to buy coke (cola) and drugs (prescription). But then you're not Dave Gorman are you? Dave was meant to be writing a novel a big grown-up piece of fiction. He's failed. But he's had a Googlewhack adventure instead. So now he'd like to tell you all about it in a show that will prove once again that in his world at least truth is really stronger than fiction. It wasn't meant to be a show and yet it's an exhiliarating story that just has to be told about one man a search engine and some of the strangest people in the world.

Join Rob Brydon and team captains Jane Moore and Dave Gorman for a double dosage of hilarity in this box set containing series 1 and 2 of the off-beat panel show where what happens off set is just as amusing as what happens on it!
Rob Brydon plays the reluctant host of a quirky new history based panel show - Annually Retentive. Is he reluctant because he believes all panel shows except QI are beneath him or because it's the only job he can get in TV since all the acting work dried up? You decide. Go behind the scenes and witness the bitching backstabbing and scheming that runs rampant when the cameras aren't rolling... mainly from Brydon.
