Robson Green's Weekend Escapes | Series 3 Preview (BBC Two)

After spending a decade married on screen, in the first episode Robson invites his Grantchester co-star Kacey Ainsworth for a weekend staycation in the beautiful north east of England.

After a quick cup of tea, the pair head to the River Tyne to reset, recharge and revitalise themselves with a cold water swim before heading back to Robson’s house to have a go at making pottery. As the weather holds out, Kacey and Robson make pizzas in the actor’s back garden before turning in for the night.

The following day, Robson takes Kacey to one of his favourite spots in the region, Vindolanda. They conclude their weekend escape hiking one of the area’s many hills to enjoy some good food and luxuriate in the landscape below.

In the second episode, Robson Green is joined by former world and Olympic champion boxer Nicola Adams to explore the North Yorkshire countryside. Nicola, who is now retired, grew up in Leeds - a stone’s throw away from the incredible landscape of North Yorkshire. After meeting Robson, they head into the woods to increase their heart rates by having a go at an assault course.

And after that physical effort, Robson takes Nicola to a Himalayan garden, where they both have a go at yoga to calm both their bodies and their minds. After Nicola leaves for the night, Robson rests his weary head in a secluded shepherd’s hut before having a go at the art of glass fusing.

Then, Robson gives pal and fellow actor Rupert Penry-Jones a weekend break on the Northumberland coast. The Silk and Whitechapel actor joins Robson in Bamburgh, where they take a lesson in surfing.

A first for the pair of them is an introduction to snuba - a cross between scuba diving and snorkelling. The seashore theme continues when Robson and Rupert reclaim their childhood by rock pooling and making art from beach-combed materials.

Robson Green's Weekend Escapes returns Monday 10th February at 6:30pm on BBC Two and iPlayer.
