The four episodes were filmed back-to-back in just a fortnight, a gruelling schedule that condemned Jones to four days’ convalescence in her Bridlington bed. The upshot is droll, easy-watching TV, in which Jones zip-wires across Anglesey with Jenny Eclair, fossil hunts with Joe Wilkinson, and sleeps in awkward proximity to the equine residents of a Lake District stable. The 30-year-old says she drew on personal experience of what she coyly refers to as “some challenging commissioners with interesting thoughts”. Trip Hazard also spoofs travel show convention, splicing Rosie’s jaunts with behind-the-scenes pow-wows with her crass commissioning ed, played by fellow comic Rachel Stubbings (“You tick a lot of boxes: woman, disabled, gay, northern”). “You hear the word ‘Norwich’,” says Jones, “and, even though I’d never been there, I thought, well, no.” The show takes Jones around the country with a succession of celebrity pals, visiting places that exist in that Venn diagram where crap and fantastic meet. But coming back as an adult, I was like: it’s quite beautiful.” I grew up in a seaside town that I spent 18 years hating. “But during lockdown I moved back to Yorkshire with my mum and dad.

She once ruled out a career performing comedy “because people would get to my punchlines before I did”. The aforementioned “speaking slowly” is a symptom of her ataxic cerebral palsy, which also affects her movement.
