This is the Technical Difficulties, we're playing Citation Needed.

Joining me today, he reads books you know, it's Chris Joel!

Everybody's favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan!

Is that just you? Are you just describing yourself there?

I don't want to know which bit's silver-plated!

And the bounciest man on the internet, Matt Gray!

In front of me I've got an article from Wikipedia, and these folks can't see it.

Every fact they get right is a point and a ding [DING]

and there's a special prize for particularly good answers, which is...

And today we are talking about BackpackersXpress.

You're obliged to touch them! All the time on the journey.

"Sit on a backpacker's lap! Have him feel you up from behind!"

You are actually slightly closer than you may think there,

so I'm actually going to give you a point. [DING]

So is this just a dating site for backpackers?

You're all thinking a bit too small and too short-haul here.

Is it the overnight flight from Europe to... eastern... climes?

Yeah, I'll give you a point. [DING] It was the idea of doing

So would there be hold luggage or no hold luggage?

Just to be clear, this is not just the name of a flight,

Oh, that'll be the s***iest most run-down plane you've ever seen

twanging up to the edge of the runway, won't it?

They will have come up with this idea before 2006.

Right, so Gary's getting a point for 'old planes' [DING]

and you're definitely getting a point for '06 [DING], it was 2003.

Because it was about 2006-2008 where all of the airlines went dead,

Yes, that's pretty much right. In fact, you're going to have a point,

Is this the kind of airline where your seat allocation would say 'rear gunner',

It was going to be Boeing 747s, they were actually going that far.

What would you want if you were a backpacker on an airplane?

Strapping you to the wing with duct tape?

To be fair, wing walking is a thing, but I think it's normally...

It's not on a jet engine, is what I'm saying!

First-come, first-serve. Just a big space, rip all the seats out,

pile 'em in, have it on a weight thing, it's like,

"right, we are now full, you're on the next one. Go!"

Big pile of backpackers, even in the hold.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's no-frills, bring your own food, kinda stuff.

See, that's not... I'm going to give Chris the point [DING],

it was certainly cheap, pack-'em-in, put 'em all together,

There were some other things they were thinking of,

and it wasn't that kind of no-frills, bring-your-own-food.

Oh no. It is tedious things that people...

I'm going to insult people who go backpacking now, brace yourselves.

It it things that tedious people who might've gone backpacking might enjoy,

Yeah. Opportunities to exchange long stories about just how ethnic you got

when you were out there and off the tourist trail you went.

Y'all have some very nice stereotypes of backpackers.

-- I'm right! -- I'm going to give you a point [DING] for stereotypes of backpackers...

No, you've got the good side of backpackers.

Erm, it's certainly something to do with what you get duty free there.

"We're still three miles out, get down the rest of your joint,
