Banged up Abroad
This show Banged Up Abroad not only has a strangely sexy name, but is one of the very few things I’ve seen on TV that frightens the shit out of me. Each episode follows an innocent enough person or couple wanting adventure and/or cash and are given a great opportunity to get it….at a price! Comedy ensues.
I have never tried smuggling drugs or even koala skull ashtrays, but I still get piss scared going to the airport, worried they’ll lock me away forever. These are people put in really stressful situations that just gets worse and worse until the bubble bursts and they’re sent to hell.
All the episodes are on ye olde You Tube, so check it out and share in the piss your pants adventure!

I didn’t realize that this was just part 1 of 6. I thought it was going to end with them flipping the coin and deciding against it, since there didn’t seem to be any other way to wrap it up in such a short amount of time. How anti-climatic that would be.
Great idea for a show, though. I’m glad it’s put the fear of third-world jails into you, my globetrotting sibling.
