Actors Miriam Margolyes and Alan Cumming continue their trip to take in some of some of Scotland's most spectacular and far-flung locations, before later in the series journeying across the Atlantic to their other mutual home, the California coast. They kick off the Scottish leg on the Harry Potter Express steam train, before climbing back into their campervan to visit the Cairngorms. They also have a go at modern orienteering, have a close encounter with a reindeer and hook up with old friend Brian Cox at his old stomping ground, the Dundee Rep.

The pair visit a drug den in Santa Barbara where Alan takes a chance to challenge Miriam's anti-drugs stance. In Palm Springs the two play drag bingo and join a gay knitting group. Then they head to LA to meet with a relative of Alan's.
