WORLD'S MOST AMAZING WALKS: ROBSON GREEN TO FRONT NEW UKTV SERIES

UKTV and BBC Select today announce the commission of new series, World’s Most Amazing Walks with Robson Green (8 x60’), 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 and 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.

Robson Green said, “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.”

Helen Nightingale, Head of Factual and Factual Entertainment Commissioning, UKTV, 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.”

Cassian Harrison, Senior Vice President of Content Creation and Acquisition, BBC Studios, said: “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.”

Adam Collings, Director of Programming, Factual & Factual Entertainment, UKTV, added: “From the success of series such as Canal Boat Diaries, we know that U&YESTERDAY viewers love escaping on an outdoor adventure, and we’re delighted to welcome Robson to the growing roster of beloved stars who are bringing their passions to U.”

World’s Most Amazing Walks with Robson Green is filming now and will air in the UK on U&YESTERDAY and free streaming service U later this year.
