The Rough Guide to ... continued
FIVE’s Commissioning Editor, Factual Entertainment and Features, Robi Dutta, said: “We are thrilled that the world renowned and respected Rough Guide is coming to Five, we look forward to giving our viewers the ultimate travel experience.”
Nick Catliff, Managing Director of Lion Television, said: “The return of Rough Guide brings independent travel back to the television in an authoritative, inspirational and engaging way for people of all ages. Like the guides themselves the series will be witty, bold and will pull no punches.”
Martin Dunford, one of the original founders of the Rough Guides, said: “Rough Guides’ reputation for insight, opinion and genuine local knowledge has made us the travel brand of choice for professionals and backpackers alike and I’m confident that this new show will have just the same appeal.”
Sue Ockwell, from The Association of Independent Tour Operators, added: “It's particularly encouraging to note the green credentials of the new series. Environmental issues are one of the biggest challenges facing the travel industry and all who travel at present.”
