AN AWARD winning entertainment series is set to return to screens for the last time later this month.
Comedian Romesh Ranganathan has been nervously globe trotting for the past six years with the BBC, but now he is ready to hang up his hat.
The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan was born when producers suggested the actor try and step outside of his comfort zone and venture to areas tourists don’t usually explore.
Romesh was initially reluctant to take up the challenge, as his ideal holiday destination is somewhere well known and loved like the Algarve.
Season one saw him tackle a visit to Haiti, which he only knew about because of the natural disasters that occurred there in 2010.
After experiencing a different side to the Caribbean island, he went on to show viewers the beautiful scenery and culture available across the world in places ranging from Colombia to the Canadian Arctic.
Now series four has been announced, and it will see Romesh head to the continent of Africa to explore lesser known attractions in Uganda, Rwanda and Madagascar.
These are the last three locations on his show’s bucket list, and Romesh has announced that this will be his last season on the BAFTA winning show.
He shared: “After six years of travelling, this three week trip through Africa felt like the perfect way to bring it to a close.
“Next year, my Misadventures go to Tenerife with the family.”
In the first episode of the final series, a guide will do his best to prove to Romesh that there is more to Uganda than its violent past under dictator Idi Amin.
Viewers will be able to watch as the Brit gets taken on an adventure white water rafting on the Nile and looking for wildlife in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
To top it off, the comedian is convinced to try out bizarre sounding banana flavoured gin, which might just heighten his appreciation for the surrounding countryside.
The series is also set to tackle more difficult subjects, such as the anti-homosexuality bill currently being passed in Uganda, and the effects of the Rwandan genocide.
However, as always, Romesh remains dedicated to showcasing the beautiful parts of countries which holiday-makers have a lot of misconceptions about.
