Robson Green takes viewers on the World’s Most Amazing Walks in new series for U&YESTERDAY
UKTV and BBC Select have announced the commission of new series, World’s Most Amazing Walks with Robson Green, for leading factual channel U&YESTERDAY and free streaming service, U, produced by BBC Studios Specialist Factual Productions.
The stunning new eight-part series will see the much-loved presenter, actor and keen rambler Robson Green embark on a series of unforgettable adventures along some of the world’s most awe-inspiring trails.
Exploring treks across coasts, valleys, mountains and rivers, each episode will see Robson challenged to a single, iconic walk, sharing his passion for walking and unlocking compelling stories as he encounters locals, other walkers, historians, wildlife experts or geologists along the way.
From the sheer rocky valleys of Poland’s Eagle’s Nest Trail, over the ancient, well-trodden pilgrim route of the Santiago di Compostela in Spain, to the secret coves of England’s Jurassic Coast – each journey will be filled with epic landscapes, fascinating history, and lush flora and fauna.
“We are shaped by the landscapes around us, and each episode of this series will be a journey of discovery that winds its way through time, culture and nature! I can’t wait to get to know these stunning parts of the world with the soles of my feet.”
– Robson Green
UKTV’s Helen Nightingale said: “With his love of the outdoors and nature, and passion for walking, Robson is the perfect guide to take viewers along these iconic trails through incredible landscapes. We’re so thrilled to be working with Robson and the brilliant team at BBC Studios Specialist Factual, alongside BBC Select, on this stunning new series.”
BBC Studios’ Cassian Harrison added: “The BBC’s international audiences consistently look to us for fresh and insightful views of our world and its stories, and this thrilling series with Robson Green will be a brilliant addition to BBC Select’s highly successful documentary catalogue.”
Jack Rampling, Executive Producer, BBC Studios Specialist Factual Productions, said: “Walking remains one of the most popular pastimes in the UK and worldwide. We’re so excited to be working with Robson, U&Yesterday and BBC Select to celebrate the joy of the hike over eight breath taking episodes.”
