MISADVENTURES OF ROMESH RANGANATHAN RETURNS TO BBC TWO FOR NEW SERIES

Comedian and TV presenter Romesh Ranganathan travels way beyond his comfort zone and the world of complimentary breakfast buffets to some of the most unlikely places on earth for a holiday.

The hugely popular Misadventures travelogue series will return with three 60 minute programmes following Romesh on a single epic adventure through central Africa, visiting Uganda, Rwanda and Madagascar.

Previous episodes have seen Romesh visit unlikely tourist destinations to discover hidden gems in some of the most off-the-beaten-path countries, taking in incredible sights and jaw-dropping landscapes, including Haiti, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe, as well as two Christmas specials in the Arctic and the Sahara.

Romesh Ranganathan said: ‘Misadventures and Misinvestigations are both shows I’m incredibly proud of and it’s a delight to be able to do them again. I think they’re really good, but if you disagree don’t tell me.’

Morgan Roberts, Head of Factual Entertainment at Rumpus Media, said: ‘Rumpus is delighted to be working on a new series of these epic Misadventures. Romesh isn’t just incredibly talented and clever – he is known as one of nicest people to work with in the industry – a reputation we intend to test to its absolute limit. And possibly beyond.’

Max Gogarty, BBC Commissioning Editor, said: ‘We’re so excited to have Romesh back on BBC Two and iPlayer with the BAFTA-winning Misadventures, where this new series will see him travel on one continuous journey through three countries in Africa. And coming back with a full series of Misinvestigations too; both shows will explore important subjects, but in Rom’s inimitable and unique style.’

The Misadventures Of Romesh Ranganathan is a Rumpus Media production for BBC Two.
