MARTIN CLUNES EXPLORES THE ISLANDS OF THE ATLANTIC FOR ITV SERIES

Martin Clunes is to return to ITV later this year with another three-part series, this time exploring the Islands Of The Atlantic. It follows the actor's previous series on the real Pacific.

Martin began his journey in 2019 for the first series of Islands of the Pacific, but his travels were halted by the pandemic - he resumed his travels in 2022 to discover more about the magical islands of the Pacific for this series.

Martin’s voyage last series was inspired by reading a book given to him when he was a child by his father about the Kon-Tiki expedition across the Pacific - he was hooked by their adventure, the unexplored desert islands and the amazing sea life.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean on the planet - covering 63 million square miles, it is strewn with tens of thousands of islands with coral atolls, jungle clad mountains, and lava-spewing volcanoes. It is rich in animal life and has an astonishing kaleidoscope of humanity.
