I know Five are trying to emulate the Beeb's similar Billy Connolly travelogues with this, but he was interesting and made me laugh whereas Connolly lost me when he kow-towed to the Royals.
I loved the car showroom with the model of the oyster on the top - it looked like it should be Dr. Evil's headquarters in the Austin Powers films! Noble was asking his audience WHY this particular showroom had this attachment; 'it's not like it's run by Barry Oyster???'
The scene with him trying out the mobility scooter had me thinking of some of the elderly boy and girl racers that used to scoot past the charity shop I used to work at in Morley - it was like Wacky Races every morning!

Another episode had him going around a harbour with carved wooden figurines - mainly of sailors, but one was meant to be of a 'lady of the night'.
He said of it, 'She looks like the Fat Controller's slaggier sister'! Meaning the controller of the railways in the 'Thomas The Tank Engine' stories and not some dietary adviser.
