Rosie Jones to Lead New Channel 4 Travelogue

Studio71 UK is behind a new four-part travelogue for Channel 4 that features comedian Rosie Jones, tentatively titled A Great British, Female Gay, Disabled, COVID Compliant Adventure.

In the series, Jones will endeavor to prove that you don’t need a big budget to have the time of your life—you just need to have the power of minority and an infectious sense of humor. With a different location to explore each episode, she will be joined by a celebrity guest, ready to get stuck into the nature, nightlife and quirky culture of Great Britain.

Jones said, “I spent lockdown back in Yorkshire with my parents, which was…tricky! But it did remind me how beautiful my hometown of Bridlington is, with its beautiful beaches, wildlife, and lovely locals. I want to explore more brilliant places like this. To be honest, I’m just over the moon to be leaving the house again!”

Jody Smith, executive producer and Studio71 UK’s VP, creative director, said “Rosie’s so boundlessly enthusiastic about everything, that after months of being stuck indoors and her usual crammed stand-up schedule on pause, we’re excited and fearful of what will happen when we unleash her on Britain. We’re so pleased to make this show for Channel 4, who have been enthusiastic in us roasting them.”

Sarah Lazenby, head of features and formats for Channel 4, said, “Rosie Jones’ dark and mischievous humor knows no bounds. So what could possibly go wrong giving her her own show to rampage across the U.K. and send up TV bosses? We’re delighted to be working with this minx and Studio 71 to deliver what promises to be a wickedly funny and brilliant British adventure for viewers.”
