Review

Gary Rose

There are quite a few travelogue series popping up on Channel 5 these days. And while they’re generally fun to watch, the lack of an original, overarching theme can make them feel like glorified press trips, with excursions laid on by the local tourist board, rather than gritty journalism.

And that’s somewhat the case with this colourful series, which opens with our Robson ambling across golden sand, hanging out with parrots in the forest canopy and accusing a sloth of doing tai chi at a sanctuary. But it’s the fish market in Manaus that gets the acting angler’s juices flowing. His face lights up like a pirate opening a chest of doubloons.

It’s an entertaining ride, but those hoping to see Green hacking sweatily through the undergrowth and wrestling anacondas might feel short-changed.
