TV personality and now seasoned traveller, Jane McDonald, is Yorkshire’s sweetheart, and we love her Channel 5 travel shows. So, the news of the new six-part documentary series coming out in the new year has us buzzing with anticipation. Jane McDonald: From Pole to Pole sees her leave her home of Wakefield for an expedition like no other.
Travelling from the Antarctic to the Arctic, both the Scenic Eclipse and Emerald Sakara will feature in the documentary series on Channel 5 with Jane McDonald. Jane McDonald isn’t in Wakefield anymore! Each episode will focus on a different location, including Antarctica, South Georgia, The Falklands, Uruguay, Brazil, Greece, Italy, Norway, Svalbard and the Arctic Circle.
You can join McDonald as she takes helicopter rides, goes whale-watching, as well as Zodiac excursions and other activities on board the luxury vessels. Jane combines luxury travel with breathtaking landscapes and global adventure.
Along the way, Jane will embrace the high life, travelling in style aboard six-star polar discovery yachts, luxury rail journeys, and exclusive accommodations. She will also take on thrilling experiences, from helicopter rides to whale watching and even performing a song at the end of each episode—bringing her signature warmth and entertainment to audiences.
Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor, 5, added: “Jane McDonald is a firm favourite with our viewers, and this series will be her most ambitious and spectacular adventure yet. It will offer a mix of adventure, culture, and luxury travel – seeing Jane ticking off things on her ultimate travel to do list.”
Kieron and Mark, Co-Founders and Creative Directors, JetSetTV commented: “We’ve been working together on travel programmes for six years and JetSetTV is the natural next step. We could not ask for a better start to the launch of our company than working with 5 and the fabulous Jane McDonald”.
McDonald added: “I’m packing my bags and setting sail again on a brand-new adventure with 5, Scenic Group and JetSetTV. We are going to the ends of the earth to bring some spectacular places into your living rooms. Get the wine open or a cuppa ready, we are going on an adventure.”
If this sounds like a bit of you, Jane McDonald: From Pole to Pole airs on the 2nd January on Channel 5.
