ONE NIGHT IN…

NEW THURSDAY / C4 / 9PM / EP 1 of 5 / ENTERTAINMENT

Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe are like kids in a sweet shop as they roam freely around some of the UK’s top tourist attractions after hours for a new series of C4’s One Night In...

Last Christmas, comedians Tom Allen, Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan stayed overnight in London toy shop Hamleys. This time, Alex and Josh are exploring two theme parks, a museum, a zoo, and, for a Christmas special, a department store – all with no other visitors around.

Here, Josh, 38, and Alex, 37, who became friends while cohosting chat show The Last Leg, tell TV Times about their escapades…

Which attraction were you most excited about visiting?

ALEX Alton Towers, definitely! It’s the place I’ve gone most as a punter, so having the run of the theme park really appealed to me.

JOSH I absolutely love London Zoo. I have a four-year-old daughter, so we started going – and I’m a silver member!
