Incredible Journeys with Simon Reeve: Episode 1

In this first episode he’s focusing on some of the incredible characters he’s met while travelling the globe – from the Burmese human rights campaigner who took him on a dangerous undercover mission into the country in 2010, to the homeless woman he met living inside a railway bridge just a few miles from the glamorous streets of Hollywood.

The journeys have taken him from a £10,000 a night hotel in Mexico to eating soup made from Xebu (ox) penis in Madagascar. And most movingly Simon catches up with a 10 year-old boy he met working in terrible conditions in a glass factory in Bangladesh and finds out what has happened to him ten years later.

Incredible Journeys with Simon Reeve takes a look back at some of the most remarkable and remote destinations Simon has visited, from arctic glaciers to tropical reefs, from the forests of Borneo to the deserts of central Asia.

This immersive and incredibly personal series is a chance to get to know Simon better and learn more about what he’s discovered on his extraordinary travels around the world.
