LAST THURSDAY, ED Byrne and Dara Ó Briain’s new three-part South East Asia travel show kicked off on RTÉ One.

The two comedians set off on an epic journey through some of the region’s most exciting and interesting locations – starting off with Malaysia.

The show made its debut on BBC 2 last night, and The Guardian included it in its TV review in the newspaper and online this morning.

Dara Ó Briain spotted a slight problem with its criticism

How unfortunate.

The beginning of the section on Ed and Dara’s show reads:

Some things, unfortunately, don’t change.

Neither does the increasingly dull and unedifying formula of sending white British men to far-flung places in search of “strange and quirky” aspects of other cultures. The latest are Irish comedians Dara Ó Briain and Ed Byrne who, in Dara and Ed’s Road To Mandalay (BBC2, Sunday), travel across Malaysia in the first of a three-part series exploring south-east Asia, “one of the most rapidly changing places on earth”.

White British men? Dara’s response on Twitter pointed out the obvious irony:

Bravo @guardian telly review! Accuses us of cultural insensitivity, while in the same sentence subsuming Ireland back into Britain…

That’s one way of dealing with a bad review.

Well played.
