Wanderlust - 04.2020

You love Simon Reeve, wherever he goes.

Last year his Mediterranean series topped

the polls. This year, The Americas was your

stand-out TV choice, charting Reeve’s

journey from Alaska to Costa Rica; in his

smiling but investigative style, he covers

everything from climate change to poverty

to missing migrants. Stay tuned: the second

part of the series, which sees him continue

southwards, down to the tip of Argentina, is

set to air later in 2020.

You also like to take a trip with Richard

Ayoade. Seeing a popular city through

the eyes of the deadpan comedian and

his celebrity guest gives a di‚ erent take

on the tourist attractions. This year, after

nine series, Ayoade is hanging up his Travel

Man boots, and comedian Joe Lycett is

taking over presenting duties. But will it

have the same appeal?

Special mention must go to Seven Worlds,

One Planet too – a glorious look at every

corner of the globe, showcasing the cutting

edge of ‡ilming tech. Breathtaking stu‚.
