Perfect Pub Walks

Bill takes fellow comedian Alan Davies to the Peak District National Park, walking the Monsal Trail to Derbyshire's highest pub, Abney Moor and Mam Tor. These two have been friends for 30 years and Bill was Alan's best man. As they walk, they chat about the perils of ageing, the stresses of modern life and the loss of their friend Sean Lock.

Bill is joined by broadcaster Trevor McDonald for walks in Essex and Suffolk, taking in Dedham Vale, the Essex-Suffolk border and the Stour Estuary.

Bill walks with comedian and writer Paul Merton along the Jurassic Coast on the Southwest Coast Path in Dorset. Together, the men discuss the question of what we leave behind as Paul ponders a return to life as a touring stand-up and opens up about his mental health.

Shaun Ryder joins Bill for a Somerset stroll through the Avalon Marshes, Chew Valley and Ham Hill, while they chat about the ups and downs of Shaun's life.

Comedian and presenter Alexander Armstrong explores some of Britain's best and most spectacular pub walks. In the first episode, he is joined in Yorkshire by James May, who discusses memories from his childhood, getting repeatedly fired from jobs, his eventful Top Gear days and, under a tree in the grounds of Bolton Abbey, opens up about ageing and retirement.

Chris Packham joins Alexander on an excursion in Kent, where they hunt for lost treasure, encounter Spitfires and a boat graveyard, explore battlefields, castles and the rich natural environment, and uncover historical secrets. Chris talks openly about some of his struggles and difficulties, while Alexander speaks movingly about his own experiences with his son's autism.

Lenny Henry joins Alexander Armstrong in the Shropshire countryside, and they learn about ideas born in this quiet, green corner of England that have repeatedly changed the world. They hunt for fossils, make their own works of art, and have a sing-song, as Lenny ponders a possible return to stand-up comedy.

Comedian Chris McCausland joins Alexander on three monumental Monmouthshire pub walks through the Wye Valley where they explore castles and ruins, picnic like a Georgian gentleman and climb a holy mountain. As they make their way from pub to pub, Chris tells Xander his remarkable life story and shares emotional insights into his private life, as he discusses his blindness, his family, his career and the other people's expectations of him.
