Travelogue series The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan has been commissioned for another series by the BBC, while true-crime spin-off The Misinvestigations of Romesh Ranganathan will return for two more investigations into the deaths of music icons.
Misadventures sees Ranganathan travel to some unusual tourist destinations and challenge his preconceived ideas and stereotypes of the countries and the people that live there, whilst finding some hidden gems along the way. Across the three new parts, he will be travelling to Uganda, Rwanda and Madagascar on an adventure through central Africa.
The new episodes of Misinvestigations cover the shooting of hip hop star Tupac Shakur, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder of Nancy Spungen, the girlfriend of Sex Pistols Bassist Sid Vicious.
Romesh Ranganathan says: “Misadventures and Misinvestigations are both shows I’m incredibly proud of and it’s a delight to be able to do them again. I think they’re really good but if you disagree don’t tell me”.
Morgan Roberts, Head of Factual Entertainment at Rumpus Media, the producer of the series, says: “Rumpus is delighted to be working on a new series of these epic Misadventures. Romesh isn’t just incredibly talented and clever – he is known as one of nicest people to work with in the industry – a reputation we intend to test to its absolute limit. And possibly beyond”.
All episodes of The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan are available to watch on BBC iPlayer, as well as Romesh’s Misinvestigations into the death of Jimi Hendrix.
