Info

Adam and Joe Go Tokyo was a series of eight episodes created for BBC Three. It starred Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish of The Adam and Joe Show and aired from 30 May 2003 to 25 July 2003. The aim of the show was to offer an alternative insight into the lives of Tokyo's citizens, with the obligatory look at a number of gadgets and toys along the way. The show took the format of a mature Blue Peter outlining many pastimes of the average Japanese person, everything from competitive speed eating to manga cosplay. Each episode would end with a Japanese band joining the show to perform.

Adam and Joe Go Tokyo Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Sean Preston Being a fan of the previous show, I was not impressed when I heard of the pairs plans to join the BBC and make a show about an excursion in Japan.However, by the time the first episode had aired on BBC3, I was left setting the personal planner on the TV for next week (applauds 'series link'). It was the same irreverent, sly and quietly witty humour that had made the student fodder show of the late nineties a cult hit.The shows followed Adam and Joe in their bid for (the tongue was firmly placed against the cheek) stardom and fame in Tokyo and indeed Japan. Though of course, the show was always about the comedy, with many guests, docu-segments and general foolhardiness.Favourite moment? When Joe fed some awful seafood-based confectionery on a stick to a blindfolded Adam. "Think of it as a lolly... a dirty lolly." For those that never saw it, tough break kiddo. As it was a step up from the first show in truth, and the more recent Shock Video wasn't an excrement stain on a tissue, floating out to sea with a pile of sewage, by comparison.
