NEW TRAVELOGUE

The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan

Sunday, BBC2 HD, 9pm

‘My idea of a good holiday is sitting on a beach in Portugal doing absolutely nothing’, admits Romesh Ranganathan. ‘My capacity to do nothing is amazing.’

So no wonder Romesh’s latest BBC travelogue, in which he finds himself jumping off cliffs and getting a tattoo, comes as something of a shock to the comedian.

Over the course of three programmes, Romesh is well and truly ejected from his comfort zone as he immerses himself in the daily life and culture of Haiti, Albania and Ethiopia; countries not known for being tourist hotspots.

First up is Haiti, the Caribbean country that made global headlines in 2010 when it was struck by an earthquake that killed more than 160,000 people, and later, in 2016, was torn apart by the devastating Hurricane Matthew.

Here, 40-year-old Romesh tells us all about his adventures…
