The Misadventu­res Of Romesh Ranganatha­n

-

Comedian and presenter Romesh Ranganatha­n travels way beyond his comfort zone and the world of compliment­ary breakfast buffets and cosy European resorts to some of the most beautiful, but dangerous places on earth in a new three-part series. Hosted by locals and fully immersed in the local culture, he gets an eyeopening, and at times heart-stopping, insider’s guide to countries that are big on natural beauty, character and charm.

In this first episode, Ranganatha­n travels to Haiti to find out if his preconcept­ions about the Caribbean island are right, or if there is more to the country than the “sensationa­l headlines” he’s seen on the news.

Landing in the capital Port au Prince, the comedian throws himself into Haitian life. It’s a chaotic journey that will take him from the iron market to vodou ceremonies and take in visits to slums and a cathedral destroyed by earthquake.
