BBC Four has announced a new slow television special, taking viewers through the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
This special follows a number of other successful slow TV programmes on the channel including All Aboard! The Sleigh Ride and Slow Week.
All Aboard! The Country Bus will take viewers on a peaceful and idyllic ride along one of the most spectacularly scenic bus routes in Britain.
Filmed in real time, the camera capture the road ahead and passing scenery, as well as the occasional chatter from the regular riders.
The bus is known as the ‘Northern Dalesman’ and travels the 40 mile route from the market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire in the east to Ingleton in the west, and winds through the iconic Yorkshire Dales.
The varied route takes viewers through valleys, over peaks and past ancient meadows, before passing the famous 24-arch Ribbleshead viaduct, which was the inspiration for the recent ITV hit Jericho.
The programme will contain captions embedded into the countryside and landscape, explaining geographical quirks or fascinating highlights from the regions agricultural past.
Slow TV has become an unexpectedly popular phenomenon, recently winning two RTS awards. Oak Tree: Nature's Greatest Survivor, a year-long study of a single oak tree and Handmade, about handmade art, both won at the 2016 RTS Programme Awards.
