Incredible Journeys with Simon Reeve (BBC Two)

Broadcaster and writer Simon Reeve has traversed the remarkable and the remote, and you tuned in to watch him as he reflected on his highlights in this BBC Two series. At the heart of his tales were the people he’s met along the way — “If I’m not meeting people and learning about their lives, I’m not on a proper journey” — a kaleidoscope of life and experience packed into just four episodes that won your votes. In episodes that cover child labourers, Indigenous campaigners and maverick conservationists, Reeve looks with clear eyes at what is at once unique and interconnected, showing that travel is not just a rarefied escape, but a living experience that illuminates the world around us.
