50/50

Could you drop everything and leave now on the holiday of a lifetime? That's the question at the heart of 50/50, the brand new series designed to give unsuspecting members of the public a much needed and unexpected mini-break. Travel expert Samantha Brown and her adventurous pal Chris Grundy hit the streets, scope out potential travellers, and then pounce! The offer: an unforgettable two-day getaway worth $50,000. The catch: they have to leave immediately. Cue a frenzied phone call to get time off work or to persuade grandparents to look after the kids, then it's off to a choice of exciting destinations – including South Africa, Australia and Nicaragua.
