Louis Theroux Interviews... Bear Grylls
FACTUAL 9PM, BBC2
Louis gets to enjoy his ‘James Bond moment’, arriving by boat to Bear’s private island off the Welsh Coast. The pair explore the island while Bear talks about his busy life as an adventurer, his meat-heavy diet and his social anxiety, which is surprising. Bear puts Louis through his paces, getting him to try out his daily workout with a super-heavy dumb-bell. Louis also accompanies Bear to visit a Scout troop in south London (Bear is Chief Scout) and a Marine reserve training camp, before joining him in Cornwall at Bear’s Gone Wild Festival, his annual adventure weekend for families. ★★★★★ NH
