The Booze Cruisers are back and have swapped the choppy waters of the English Channel for the winding roads of the English countryside... Taking to the road on a two day charity treasure hunt, Mark Benton returns as the team's organiser Dave along with Karen Henthorn as his wife Cath. With a baby on the way, fraught egos and a persistent mistress - chaos inevitably ensues. However the most pressing question of all is: will the gang survive without killing each other?
E3The Scattering
May 21, 2006
Anne Reid returns as Grace, who is trying to fulfil the last wish of her deceased mother by scattering her ashes upon the Yorkshire Moors. As Dave (Mark Benton) has business in Yorkshire it seems the ideal opportunity to combine both events and he gathers his Booze Cruise team together for a fun weekend away... Another chaotic trip for the gang in which many lessons are learned, including the fact that there's more than one way to scatter a person's ashes!
